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?

ALTER DS0001 VOLUMEENTRY USEATTRIBUTE(SCRATCH) LIBRARYNAME(DEVLVTL)
IDC3012I ENTRY DS0001 NOT FOUND
IDC3009I ** VSAM CATALOG RETURN CODE IS 8 - REASON CODE IS IGG0CLEG-42
IDC3003I FUNCTION TERMINATED. CONDITION CODE IS 12

ALTER VOLUMEENTRY(DS0001) USEATTRIBUTE(SCRATCH) LIBRARYNAME(DEVLVTL)
IDC3203I ITEM 'VOLUMEENTRY(DS0001)' DOES NOT ADHERE TO RESTRICTIONS
IDC3202I ABOVE TEXT BYPASSED UNTIL NEXT COMMAND. CONDITION CODE IS 12
