Loading files from tape TLOAD [pathname1] The TLOAD command loads the next file from the tape into a disk file. If ‘pathname1’ is given then the tape file is written into a disk file of this name; if the optional name is omitted then the disk file has the same name as that of the tape file,which in turn has thesame name as thedisk file fromwhich itwas created. Loading multiple tape files ITLOAD Mnemonic: Indefinite Tape LOAD This command indefinitely performs TLOADs. Files are read off the tape until the disk to which they are being written is full, or until you reset the 1616 (using the reset switch or the command), or until you use the command.
The 1616 may take some time to respond to the command. Alt Ctrl R Alt C Alt C Verifying tape files TVERIFY The TVERIFY verifies tape files by reading them in the same manner as in the TLOAD command, however the actual data which is read is discarded and no disk files are created. This command allows you to verify that files that you have just saved are correctly recorded. Page 76 User Tutorial Manual 1616/OS Commands
