Clearly this is going to have to be marked as Master or User in the
library and Control-M. RMM it is fairly easy, not sure about Control-M.
The 7700 should also be no issue.

Yes. Just use a VOL=SER reference for the tape, and refer to the file by DSN.
My guess is most of us has hit this issue, and it really is not that difficult.
I've done it many times.

Subject Reading a scratch tape
Hi,
We've been asked to attempt to read a file from a scratched tape.
We use Control-M/Tape as our tape management system.
The tapes are virtual 3490's stored on a TS7770.
The tape has many files, but we only need once specific one.
If it matters, the file is the output of DB/2 backup.
Is this possible?
Thanks
Gadi
