MTAPE ----- The MTAPE procedure prompts a user with various questions about a tape the the user wishes to work with. It finally submits MTAPEJOB which calls a user specified procedure to perform operations on the tape. The MTAPEJOB procedure handles all operator messages, unit allocation, initialization (when requested) and mounting/dismounting. The user refers to the tape by the logical name TAPE:. For most simple tape operations these procedures suffice, reducing the preparation time for tape jobs and standardizing operator requests, eg. a one-line command procedure is required to get all files off any tape specified in the MTAPE dialogue - $ COPY TAPE:*.* */LOG Note that MTAPE assumes MTAPEJOB resides in 'PUB$SYSTEM'.
