No they are not chained, no movement, no loan location or VRS entry to govern the volume. Thanks Bob

I could be wrong about this, but I believe that if you have multiple data sets on chained tapes, and RETAINBY(S) is in Parmlib, then one or more of the volumes in the chain can be in a scratch pending status but will not scratch until all the data sets in the chained set have expired or are uncataloged.

Keith Co. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On Behalf Of Hale, Bob Sent: Wednesday, December 10, 2008 All of the tapes are not cataloged and Expiration Dates have past. If the tape has multiple files on it I verified that all the files are not cataloged. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html This message (including any attachments) is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is non-public, proprietary, privileged, confidential, and exempt from disclosure under applicable law or may constitute as attorney work product.
