The Question is: I have a DS20E, OpenVMS7.2-1, with a TLB891 (MKE?) connected. I expect the library-unit to be able to locate any given tape (I assume it requires each tape to be labeled). I'm able to mount a single tape (mount/foreign) but there must be a way to access a ny tape by DCL (Mount.....) but can't find any info on: - required TLB891 configuration - requirements on tape initialisation - OpenVMS commands (preferably examples) how to access a tape in this unit for initialization, read and write access, how to get the next (of previous) tape. The Answer is : DCL does not have access to a tape storage library (other than typically having sequential access), access to specific tapes generally requires additional software and/or separate tools. One example of such a package is the Media Robot Utility package: http://www.openvms.compaq.com/openvms/storage/mrupage.html
