We have received the Compustat tapes, and unfortunately we are having
difficuly processing one of the files which is a multi-volume NL
tape file (the Full Coverage 48 QTR).  Our CMS system is unable to
handle multi-volume NL tape files, and a programmer from administrative
operations has tried on the admin MVS system with no luck. He is telling
me that we will need to write a "special" program to process the file.
I am certain that it is not that complicated to read a multi-volume NL
tape file on an MVS system, and I am certain someone out there must have
done this with Compustat files many times.  If you have, would you be
willing to send me a JCL sample showing how you've done it, so I can
share it with the programmer over in administratie operations who is
having difficulty.  All I want for him to do is read it on the MVS
system to split it into two distinct files that each fit on a single
reel so I can deal with it on our CMS system.  Thank you.
