I tested a new database backup over the weekend using "ontape -s -L 0" and evidently the job aborted because it needed a second tape. In researching this before-hand, I was under the impression that "ontape" would wait indefinitely for a tape request/reply. Is this not the case?
 
You are right! ontape if it requires another tape, will wait. Time to check the online log and see what happened.
