Les, You are referring to the z/VM530 documentation, aren't you ?
With or without target parameter in the MOUNT cmd, the targetcat is not changed under z/VM440 when asking for a scratch in P2P. Did the test with z/VM530, no change. This hardware situation is a major regression. We could not live if the problem was similar with MVS. We mount thousands VTS tapes a day.
