Bob, Are any of the volumes in question chained? I could be wrong about this, but I believe that if you have multiple data sets on chained tapes, and RETAINBY(S) is in Parmlib, then one or more of the volumes in the chain can be in a scratch pending status but will not scratch until all the data sets in the chained set have expired or are uncataloged.

If the tape has multiple files on it I verified that all the files are not cataloged. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
