long ago I was involved in a project to electronically eject tapes from a STK 4400 silo, it was much easier to copy the tapes not used in X amount of days than to eject them, also real to virtual later on, I used CA-COPYCAT because if you have CA-1 or TLMS it makes sure it copied all the datasets if stacked datasets, and multiple volumes if there are, also it will update the TMC, re-init the TO volume, if that option is used (not sure if this is correct) and catalog or not catalog the tape depending on the current tape status, or by options. for me it was much easier to use, GENER is great but a tool like COPYCAT will do it all.
