Creating a Transport File on Tape

In order to create a transport file on tape, at the source host, use either the LIBNAME statement or the FILENAME statement, whichever is appropriate, to designate the file path as a tape device. Here are examples: 

libname tranfile xport '/dev/tape1';
filename tranfile '/dev/tape1';
