If you have access to ISMF, the Option for Volumes maybe helpful.
Most shops use ISMF from the ISPF Primary panel or you might be able to do
an =ISMF command.
Or your shop may have not set it up that way. Then you need to find out
where ISMF is.
Or your tape management software may have information (CA1, RMM, TLMS,
etc...)

ISMF 2.3 (volume List) doesn't appear to have that field. The field looks
to be a combination of two other fields: Use Attribute and Media Type.
Scratch tapes look like SCRMED? where the ? is the media type. (We have 5
and 7.) Non-scratch show as PRIVATE. In ISMF 2.3 sort on columns 3 and 8
to locate bad or missing values.
If you don't have direct access to the panels, Naviquest in batch can get
a full list of volumes that can then be filtered/processed with another
tool.
Thank you and have a Terrific day!

Hi, I suspect your DEVSUPxx MEDIAx values dont contain the values being used for LM categories.
You can see that OAM is getting back 000F as the LM catgeory. It then uses the DEVSUPxx (or default) values to translate that to something meaningful.
i.e The volume belongs to another partition.

Hi all,
I'm correcting tape volume library category by using ISMF panel and doing
an ALTER. How can I do that in batch ?? I've hundreads of lvols to correct
??? Is it by using CBRUXCUA exit ?? Any hint is welcome.
Many thx,A.CEcilio

Hi,
When I want to change a value of a tape entry in the VOLCAT, I use the
IDCAMS command ALTER VOLUMEENTRY. You can create a list of the tapes you
need with "LISTCAT VOLUMEENTRY" and manipulate it, to get the ALTER
commands you need.

Hi Gonzalo,
yes, but I presume that will only change on VOLCAT and not change lvol
status on VTS.
AFAIK ISMF ALTER using panels invokes api exit to transfer the lvol status
to the VTS. That's what I need.
Thks for the hint, A.Cecilio.

If you use rmm, you can use rmm SEARCHVOLUME with CLIST to create the ALTER IDCAMS commands needed....

... as prompted by another post ..... yes IDCAMS ALTER only changes the TCDB - There is no outboard communication.
To change a category outboard you have to go via OAM .... Iether from ISMF or rmm (or another tms perhaps - some have sync options)
All you can do is change the STATUS o PRIVATE/SCRATCH and OAM uses the DEVSUPxx specified values to set the outboard category. So DEVSUPxx must be correct and you have to be on the correct partition.
ISMF allows you to change the STATUS to the same value it already is...... which can result in category change.
rmm will not direct via OAM unless the status really changes - so you may need to go scratch-> master->scratch
Usually 000F category is PRIVATE on all partitions - only SCRATCH volumes have different categories based on the partition.

Sorry for a small OT with this, but I've seen Naviquest in batch is mentioned so I'll have to ask ^^
Does anyone know is it possible to change a tape storage group from private to scratch in batch?
In ISMF 2.3 the list is accessed via *SCRTCH* storage group name, but can batch handle that properly because of the wildcards?
Thanks.

Hi,
Do you want to change status from private to scratch, and as part of that to set SG=*SCRTCH* ??
Or something else?
If you have rmm as tape manager you can make the change driven from rmm commands, That will update TCDB and LM.
Any change from private to scratch for a system managed volume also changes the storage group name to '*SCRTCH*' This is not a mask/generic value. It really is this value.
In ISMF you can use a primary command to apply to all those tape volumes in the search results list. Once started, just walk away and dont worry about the batch.....
Hope that helps,
Mike Wood

But if we convert the same type into a scratch using the panel ismf it will be added to the number of scratches apparently TCDB . it will not be updated when we use the job (JCL) for scratches .
