Thanks to all for the replies,
The volhist information was the problem. Here is what I had to do
del volhist todate=+1 type=export
In this case the volume was automatically returned to scratch status
once it was removed from volhist.
Thanks Again,
Jon

Jon,
You can not check the volume back in as scratch until the information in
your volume history file has been deleted for that tape. Use the command
TSM> h q volhist
to see more information on using the "q volhist" command. This can be used
to identify the tape and then once all the parameters are correct to only
bring back the tape in question, you can change the word "query" to "delete"
to remove the entry from the volume history file.
Once this has been done the tape can be checked back in as ascratch tape.

Good Morning All,
I have a tape volume that was used to export a node. I would like
to check that volume back in as scratch. I'm having trouble finding the
answer.
Here is an excerpt from the actlog showing what I have tried.
ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: CHECKIN libvolume 3575lib
0ACFB3 status=scratch checklabel=yes
ANR8443E CHECKIN LIBVOLUME: Volume 0ACFB3 in library 3575LIB cannot be
assigned a status of SCRATCH.
ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: LABEL libvolume 3575lib
search=yes labelsource=barcode checkin=scratch
ANR8816E LABEL LIBVOLUME: Volume 0ACFB3 in library 3575LIB cannot be
labelled because it is currently defined in a storage pool or in the
volume history file.
ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: DELETE VOLUME 0ACFB3
discarddata=yes
ANR2401E DELETE VOLUME: Volume 0ACFB3 is not defined in a storage pool.
Any tips?
Thanks,
Jon Martin
