If your jobs all used UNIT=3480, you're going to end up doing search-and-replace on JCL because those aren't esoterics in your eligible device table (EDT). It they were using UNIT=TAPE or UNIT=CART, the value in the catalog (I believe, one of you with more expertise can correct me if I'm wrong) reflects the esoteric and not the actual device.
I tried a test of this by my DEVTYPE in the catalog all ended up the same - I forgot that I have StorageTek's SMC, HSC, and VTCS installed, SMC reallocated all of these to my virtual tape subsystem: Specific unit type UNIT=3490 DEVTYPE------X'78048081' Specific device UNIT=300 DEVTYPE------X'78048081' Esoteric UNIT=TAPE DEVTYPE------X'78048081' When I did a DEFINE NONVSAM with different device types, the esoterics (like VTSS or CART) had different DEVTYPEs than when I put a device type like 3490.
