Issue ... DFSMSRM Q LIB VOL VM0000
I suspect it will say the tape is in the INSERT category ... If so, you need to issue a DFSMSRM SET VOLCAT VOL VM0000 TARGETCAT SCRATCHn Where "SCRATCHn" is the desired scratch category for your scratch tapes ... For example SCRATCH0. If you have specified a *default* scratch category in your RMS configuration file ... Just leave off the "n" in SCRATCHn and the tape will be put in your default scratch category.
