Ed,

Just a guess, but probably because you can sel-restore from files that
have multiple data sections, perhaps it's merely asking: Which Dict?
Which File within that Dict? Usually the answer is the same, but once in
a while it's not and the mvBase process may not like filename,subfile
construct as a reply.

What's the exact sequence of questions?

Account name on tape :
Dictionary name on tape :
File name on tape :

Not sure what is wanted for dictionary name.

Went there for a quick mvBase answer and the whole ftp site is now "under
constuction." Anyone on the inside know when it'll be back up?

My mvbase question is this. It's been a LONG time since I did tape ops on
an mvBase system. I'm sel-restoring a file and it's asking for the
dictionary name. I'm used to entering the account name and file name. If
I needed a dict, I'd sel-restore DICT filename and it'd know what to do.
Why is the dict name necessary?

Thanks,

The account your account name ie Accounting
The Dict is a sub account inside Accounting (example, GL, payables)
this is not needed if you want the whole account you can just hit
enter
your account name on the tape
