Michele, If you use DFSMSrmm as your tape management system, you can add this tape volume to rmm and then use it ok. rmm allows you to add a tape volume and give it something like an alias. Assume you can use a volser like MYDUPT and actual volser is BT0292 RMM AV MYDUPT STATUS(MASTER) VOL1(BT0292) ...... now in your JCL code .... VOL=SER=MYDUPT,UNIT=tape .....
and the tape volser now will not conflict with a DASD volser.
