Lizette, The sysut2 in the proc is
//SYSUT2 DD DISP=(NEW,KEEP,DELETE) I wholeheartedly agree that if this were a CA1 problem we would be talking about multiple tapes. However as is usually the case, unless I can prove to the user that we didn't scratch his file, it will be our fault. I was hoping that DAF would resolve the question but the last reference to this file shows Expdt=00000 and an examination of the CA1 tape record shows an Expdt=99000. No, didn't run the TMS audit yet. I'll look into that now.

David, The second step seems to be a proc over ride statement. What does the SYSUT2 DD statement look like in the COPY Proc? I would think that if there were an issue with CA1 then you would have more than one tape dataset getting expired and scratched like this. It is more likely that the way the job ran caused the tape to be scratched. The original output from the job would be so helpful in resolving this issue. However, since you no longer have that output, I am not sure what other steps could help identify the issue. Did you run the TMS AUDIT? If so, what did it show?
