Thanks for the response. I did locate the "mt" command and tried to advance to tape to the 5 file count and I received Input/Output errors anf the operation stopped. I guess the tape is shot and I will have to recreate the datafile and tablespace.
Thanks to all.
Ron

don't have it at the moment doesn't mean it isn't available! Thanks Christolph!

Hallelujah open source!
