It is from the SMC component of Sun/STK that is used with their tape robotic software. Without getting into a lot of detail, the easiest way to bypass SMC (which handles all the tape allocations) is to specify a unit address in the JCL instead of an estoeric / generic. Example: //TAPEDD DD DSN=MY.DSN,DISP=SHR,VOL=123456,UNIT=/5200 (slash needed for 4 digit addresses) See the SMC manuals for more details.
