Russell, Thanks for the advice. I have never done this before. I checked in ISMF. I chose Option 10 then option 3 (Tape library), however I do not find an opton to change the status of a tape. Could you tell me how I can go about it? Thanks for your patience.

IBM's rule is that a tape in "SCRATCH" status cannot be called by specific volser. You need to change the status within ISMF from "SCRATCH" to "PRIVATE" and then you will be able to REPRO the tape. I would also suggest you change the expiration date to something like tomorrow within CA-1. This will cause it to go scratch again in CA-1 and also in the OSM TCDB.
