I am looking for the appropriate entry for the 300G tapes that we have
in the ATL. Or is it simply arbitrary?

I have been able to get access to our new 3592-E05 tape drives and want to
begin functional testing. I will not be testing them as ENCRYPTING tape
drives due to non-technical issues. But we want to try mounting a tape and
running DDR to see if we can at least write and read the tapes. I have
RMSMASTR configured to know about this new library and can get RMSMASTR to
give me an inventory of the complete library. We have several tapes inserted
but all are in 'INSERT' category. My z/OS co-worker has not been able to
find an appropriate category value for these new tapes. I do not remember
what the hex value was for our other 3590 (20GB) tapes, but I have a nice
'SCRATCH4' category for them. I would like a similar 'SCRATCHx' category
for these 3592 tapes. We are at z/VM 5.3 service level 0701.
There are several VM SCRATCHx categories to choose from, or are you
looking for a different z/OS scratch category?
