I use the following JCL to change the volume back to PRIVATE: //STEP000 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN DD * ALTER V292463 VOLUMEENTRY - STORAGEGROUP(SGVTAPE2) - NULLIFY(ERRORSTATUS) - LOCATION(LIBRARY) LIBNAME($VTS0002) /*
You need to change "292463" to your volser (leave the V prefix on it!), SGVTAPE2 to the SMS storage group name and $VTS0002 to the SMS library name. In addition, unexpire it in CA-1.
