We have an MTL that's not under RMM control. The MTL internally scratches tapes that have reached their expiration date daily, but the entries in the volcat are showing them as private. When I attempt to manually alter them to scratch status, IDCAMS isn't liking either format of the command (that I've read in the FM). What am I doing wrong?
