Use the FORCE parameter with the recycle command.

Willie,

The problem is not the migrated file, it just happens to be that the tape has a 
bad spot and it happens to be the spot where this file is physically on the 
tape; thus, you can't get past it.

You should mark the tape full to keep it from being written to again; Then, you 
can:
1) just sit and wait until all files have expired; then HSM will delete the 
tape from your inventory. 
2) The tape can also be sent to IBM & they in turn will recover as much data as 
they can and send you a new tape--this will take a few days
3) you can get a ttoc list of all files on this tape:
        a) do an hdelete on all of them which in turn will make the tape 
obsolete & HSM will delete it from its inventory 
        b) then, hrecover each one of these from their corresponding HSM 
backup. For GDGs, you'll have to do ALTER/ROLLIN for each GDG to attach         
       them to the GDG base 

Once the tape is obsolete, eject it from your library & get rid of it.

Hallo All,
 
I am trying to recycle a damaged ML2 tape.  The RECYCLE rolls along however 
when it hits a particular dsn the recycle terminates.  I deleted the migrated 
dsn (ML2) so as to bypass the problem however it doesn't work.  Is there a way 
of having the RECYCLE bypass this troublesome dsn on the ML2 tape?
 
Thanks for your comments in advance.
