User complained the other day that we had destroyed one of their tapes. I ran a DAF report and sure enough TMS had scratched the tape and uncataloged the file.
When the tape was originally created it was under catalog control so that TMS should not have trashed it. But as I look at the DAFRPT I see the EXPDT change from 99000 to 00000 and back again. The last entry 5 days before TMS scratched showed Expdt=00000. I would have thought that once a tape was created with Expdt=99000, then that field should have remained 99000. Or does 99000 have to be coded in the JCL each time the tape is used?
