I just used VMBTCPY for the very first time and I am getting a
REXX error (Invalid call to routine, line 230).  RXTAPIO seems to
be doing something that REXX doesn't like.  Should I be linked to
another disk aside from VMBACKUP's 192?

Also, the manual does not explain how to process/delete files during
a Merge/Purge from tapes which get I/O errors.  Does anyone have any
suggestions as to how I could delete the files from the database that
are on the tapes (16 tapes in total!) so that our users won't get the
"OFU" status when they query their files?

I think I need to do a normal Merge/Purge, skipping the BASE tapes
that give the I/O errors, and then run another Merge/Purge using the
DBONLY option after ensuring all files on the bad tapes have been purged.
I am hoping that there is an easier way since several thousand files
are involved.

We're are running VMBACKUP 5.2 on a VM/HPO Release 5 system.
