Can I force RMM to allow me to read the tape even though it is in
scratch status?

<snip>

You can try the following using the correct utility:

//SYSUT1  DD  DSN=SYS1,DCB=(RECFM=U,BLKSIZE=32760),.....
//SYSIN   DD  *
   PRINT IFILE(SYSUT1) DUMP COUNT(100)
/*

However, if the prior writer to the tape was using the 64K blksize, this
will fail.
