I believe the scenario is that the tape was physically destroyed while in the library, manually removed, and therefore cannot be ejected.
The ATL should already know the volume is gone; all we need to do is deleted the volume entry from RMM. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ernie Takeuchi Sent: Tuesday, December 01, 2009 3:53 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: RMM Volume Delete There's a couple of things going on here. First have you checked RMM to see if the tape is still in RMM? The command below appears that you are trying to take a tape out the OAM library. I would delete the tape out of RMM FORCE if still master then I believe the CBRUXxxx exits will delete your entry in the OAM. Regards, Ernie.

Why ALTER on the tape catalog? I think they are trying to remove an entry for a tape that has been physically destroyed. Is there another/better way to do this?
