Ciao a tutti,
We've been reprossesing the ZEBRA tapes finding various minor problems
that we'll summarize later.
Here I bring to your attention the problem with DD011B that took us
significant time to debug and fix.

Summary of DD011B
=================
The TAPLIS.TAB has the wrong sizes for almost all the files of DD011B.
The GS COPY version of the DD011B had several problems. It gave fatal tape
errors at the #35 file, thus failing to read files #35/#36/#37 (RUN011021/
RUN011022/RUN011023).
Moreover, for the files #2 (RUN010986), #15 (RUN011002) and #34 (RUN011020)
it contains a version of the ZEBRA file that is DIFFERENT from the one
in the TAPE BACKUP: the version contained in the COPY is shorter by ~100
VMS blocks and our job the remakes the RAW version of the file failed
in processing these.
Finally, file #30 (RUN011016) when its RAW version is remade, it DIFFERS
in size from the original RAW file (by 9 VMS blocks) at the time that it was
produced on VXMACA. This is a non recoverable failure and my guess is that
there was an error when the ZEBRA version was produced on AXMAC1.
Fix for DD011B
==============
We have restored the contents of DD011B to disk from the BACKUP tape.
We have remade the GS COPY version from that. The old (bad) GS DD011B
is still available for whoever needs it.
We have corrected TAPLIS.TAB with the correct *SIZE* (only, no date change
was invoked) of all the DD011B files.

RAW to ZEBRA job.
