Wouldn’t that just be a change in the RUNTAPES parameter?
It will start re-using only after it exceeds that parameter. BUT if you have
more tapes available than
that parameter, it uses all of them before beginning to re-use. (At least,
with real tapes.)
So if I want it CAPABLE of re-using tapes, I have to set the RUNTAPES param to
the value of the minimum
I insist it keeps before overwriting. I have always been able to have MORE
than that number of tapes, and
it will use them all before re-writing, if they are inserted.
