Carol,

     Thank you SO MUCH!!  You were exactly right!  I took the line numbers off
and now it seems the import is running just fine.  One other question, though.
When I do a 'q pr' it tells me the process is running and has copied 24 bytes
with no error, showing G10818 as the input volume.  When I do a 'q mo' it
displays only one volume mounted - G10818.  Where is it copying to?  The
destination storage pool for the backup copygroup is 'tape'.

                              Ginny

Hi Ginny,
You need to check your file, and remove numbering - it takes the whole line
in as the volume name - and yours has line numbers on the far right that are
embedded in the file - you need to remove those and the IMPORT should work
just fine.
