Victor, You would use the DFSMSrmm supplied utility EDGINERS to erase the tape. EDGINERS uses the DSE CCW to tell the hardware to erase the tape contents. You can drive the EDGINERS actions via the volume ERASE release action, and can set the ERASE action in any of these ways; 1. via command RMM CV volser RELEASEACTION(ERASE) 2. via parmlib settings within SECCLS using DSNAME masks 3. via RACF ERASE on SCRATCH and the DEVSUPxx TAPAUTHDSN=YES support
