Well, further research enables me to answer my own question. Mike Wood's SHARE in Anaheim presentation contains a foil describing the WWID, stating it is maintained for WORM tapes ONLY.
Thanks, Greg -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Greg Shirey Sent: Thursday, May 18, 2006 2:08 PM <snip> I note that in the explanation of ADDVOLUME, there seems to be an indication that the field will only be used for WORM tapes: "When you are defining WORM tapes to DFSMSrmm, allow DFSMSrmm to record the volume WWID when the volume is first used on the system rather than specifying the WWID yourself. This ensures that the WWID for the volume is recorded correctly." Does anyone have any experience with replacing a tape that has an associated WWID and understand how this works? ######################################################################## Notice.....Notice : Ben E.
