Kees,
     I think you are right.  I checked the tape status in the VTS and it shows 
"deleted".  When the FATAR was run it showed that the tape was empty

  Thanks.

 John,
 
 You said the tape went to scratch, but it was P in SMS. Has
 it been returned from scratch to private in SMS?
 If it has been scratch, check out the scratch category it
 was in then (in DEVSUPxx) and check in the VTS GUI if this
 category was a fast ready category and if that category has
 an Expire time specified together with Expire Hold. 
 
 This means, that after your tape management system made the
 tape scratch, the VTS has expired the data from it and when
 you made it Private again in SMS in order to mount it again,
 the data is not available anymore and you will be presented
 an empty tape.
 
 Kees.

 Kees,
 
 We are using IBM TS770.  In order to mount the tape I
 think the tape was still in SMS with a status of P.  I
 am not sure if the tape was in fast-ready.  Sorry I
 couldn't be more helpful.  This problem happened last
 Tuesday.
