If you have a tape management system, it probably posts messages in the
log.  For CA-1, the mount request is echoed in a TMS00x message and
volume recognition is logged in a IECTMS9 message.

Subject: Tape mount statistics

Hi all,
I'm being asked if it's possible to produce an average time it's taking
our ops 
to mount a cartridge (yes we still have manual drives) on a z/OS 1.4
system 
and a VSE V3 system.

I don't have SAS or anything similar on these machines, but could 'port'
SMF 
data to a system that does have SAS / MICS, but I suspect that if I can 
produce stats, the customer is going to want them every month or
something.

I'm guessing that the answer is no, but is it posssible to get stats
from SMF re 
tape mount times?  I know SMF 94 is for tape libraries, but I don't
think there 
is anything for manual drives?

Is there any other way of getting this info, other than trawling through
the 
job output?

Can anything be done on VSE?
