Lucy, Is this a CA-VTAPE drive? If not, then I might do the following in SDSF see if there is an external writer with that ucb as the step name, issue a DS command, Do an D M=DEV(xxxx) I might use the V xxxx,OFFLINE,UNCOND or V xxxx,OFFLINE,UNCOND,FORCE But ony if I knew there was nothing using this device. Otherwisw you might get into an IPL'able situation. However, it if is CA-VTAPE, I would open a case to CA and see what is going on.
