Now a customer is using a Tape management System they developed and
is going to convert to RMM.
There are many private/scratch tape volumes in SMS tape library.
These volumes are not registered in RMM.
When they add these volumes to RMM by RMM ADDVOLUME  command with
STATUS(VOLCAT) operand, the added private volumes status becomes USER.
They want to add these private volumes as MASTER status (not USER status).
Are there any way to add the private volumes to RMM with MASTER status.
Or do they have to change volume status to MASTER from USER by CHANGEVOLUME
command after adding the volumes to RMM?

Why does RMM adds private volume as USER status when STATUS(VOLCAT) is used?

Check the syntax of the ADDVOLUME command and see if there is a parm to make the status MASTER in lieu of USER. Since you can alter it via CHANGEVOLUME I would assume that there is a setting for ADDVOLUME to make the volume MASTER when added.
