Kees, Actually, the CA-1 utility does not invoke IEHINITT. After doing the administration (validating the tape is in scratch status), we re-write the VOL1/HDR1 records with the defined volser. And there is an option to do a secure erase of the remainder of the tape if desired (though for a 3590 that might take a while).
