I wrote the script yesterday afternoon (Belgian time), one of my
backupset expiring this afternoon, I will see how if it works.
What I am sure is that, the expiration process was working perfectly
before I decided to eject the backupsets and store them off-line. That's
why I was almost sure it would work to reload the tape in the library
before the expiration process happened.
I will see this afternoon and let you know.
If it does not work, I have a real problem ...
By the way, thanks to all of you taking time to answer and communicate
your experiences to others.
Do you know where it is possible to access all those mails centralized
on Internet ?

Ruddy,
Your workaround did not work for me.
When I deleted the backup set the tapes were already in the library, but
they remained in private state,
and the command to change to scratch didn't succeed.
The tape wan't change status because the volhistory entry was not
removed.
Could you change the status of the tapes from private to scratch?
Thanks
Maria
