We want to discard some very old tapes after making sure there's nothing of value on them. When we run Innovation FATAR to analyze them, the jobs fail with messages like those below using JCL like this:
//TAPEIN DD UNIT=TAPECR,LABEL=(,BLP), // DISP=OLD,VOL=SER=(nnnnnn) There's a whole slew of STGADMIN profiles in FACILITY class that allow the user to get around 'irregularities', but we can't seem to find one that would allow this usage. The tapes are not defined to RMM. We just want to know what's on the tapes before the trash truck pulls out of the loading dock. EDG4025I VOLUME nnnnnn REJECTED.
