You cannot call for scratch volume by specific-volser. If you are attempting write new data to a new tape; it should be without a volser and just select the next scratch volume. If you are attempting to read or mod data onto an existing tape; the tape has been scratched (why?) inside the robot. In that case, you would need to "un-scratch" the tape (change its status to PRIVATE) using the ISMF panels and then re-submit the job.
