Thanks for everyone's feedback. I tried everyone's suggestion (see snip
below) and still ended up with the same results. I then started wondering
if I had a bad tape so I did another MKSYSB; same results. I changed the
block_size between 1024 and 512; same results. I then set the block_size to
0 (variable) and TADA!!! This goes against what I have learned about MKSYSB
tapes so I guess I need to do some research.
Thanks everyone for your help - Steve
