Additional Tape Copy Options

Additional options for copying a tape table are available, which might be relevant for specific users.

  • You can use IBM system commands to view the tape table. You must specify the table and member IDs, for example, table ID F04572T and member ID AP00000390.

  • Information in tape tables is stored in a standard format. Instead of copying a tape table to tape or diskette, you can upload a tape table to a financial institution using a modem.

  • Bank Automated Clearing System (BACS) clients can approve a bank tape before copying it to tape or diskette. On the Copy Bank Tape to Tape form, select Approve from the Row menu. This Row menu selection is enabled only if the processing option for the Copy Bank Tape File to Tape program (P0457) specifies to display the BACS format.
