ISMF 2.3 (volume List) doesn't appear to have that field. The field looks 
to be a combination of two other fields: Use Attribute and Media Type. 
Scratch tapes look like SCRMED? where the ? is the media type. (We have 5 
and 7.) Non-scratch show as PRIVATE. In ISMF 2.3 sort on columns 3 and 8 
to locate bad or missing values.

If you don't have direct access to the panels, Naviquest in batch can get 
a full list of volumes that can then be filtered/processed with another 
tool.

Thank you and have a Terrific day!
