John, Fantastic. I will try this out the next time I have this situation. The tape librarian had changed the status in TMS so I was too late. Thanks a million.

Go into CA-1's ISPF interface and change the expiration date to tomorrow. This will take it out of scratch status in CA-1. Now you need to run CA-1's CTSSYNC program to update the SMS status. JCL: //STEP1 EXEC PGM=CTSSYNC //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN DD * VERIFY SYNC volser /* change "volser" to the correct volume serial. The one you updated in CA-1.
