export to tape from directory-container storage pools.

I would like to see an export function that enables me to export to tape from directory-container storage pools. Export to tape is only possible from a sequential pool now days, but I would like to do it from container storage.

    As an IBM customer having to retire 1 PB of VTL tape pools across the enterprise and replace them with directory container pools, this is our number one requirement. We create monthly and annual backup sets from these VTL tape pools and need this function to replace the backup sets. The backup sets are being created to meet legal retention requirements and are not optional. Thank you for taking the time to respond to this request.
