The GIVE command detaches a drive form one user and attaches it to another without repositioning the tape. If the drive is attached multiuser it is obviously unnecessary to do that. Did you see the HCPGIV1118E message? It should be attached to both users all the time.

Hi All I have now attached the tape to my Linux guest as MULTIUSER.

Ready(01118); T=0.01/0.01 11:30:15 However when I attach it as Single user I can Give it to another Guest, but when it returns it has GONE form the Linux Guest. This works but I then have to chccwdev -e from linux give 600 from dlient to * as 181 return leave DLIENT : Tape 600 given to MAINT 181 Tape 181 attached Ready; T=0.01/0.01 11:24:50 det 181 DLIENT : Tape 0181 returned TAPE 0181 DETACHED Ready; T=0.01/0.01 11:27:20 DLIENT : TAPE_CORE: tape device 0.0.0181 found What's the point of attaching a device as multiuser if you can't give it to another guest, without detaching it first; I'm obviously missing the plot?
