Tape dump

You can request a tape dump (a printout of all the tape contents)
in order to troubleshoot a job. You print the dump by making the
appropriate specifications on the Tape Client window on the DP
EPS controller, setting up a queue with the required properties,
and running the tape job.

The tape dump is formatted in ASCII and is sent to the controller
and printed by the ASCII decomposer.

Refer to “Starting and ending an offline dump session,” in
chapter 2, “Managing and printing jobs from the tape client.”
