I want to verify that tapes that have been degaussed are really wiped clean of
data.I took one tape that is in delete status in TMS and made an outside
label (SYT001) and using DITTO, tried to dump the tape label. The job gets an
IOS000I with error code of NCA which says:

Sounds like you've got it nailed.

Anne,
May I infer from your second post that you are degaussing tapes only as a
security measure, to destroy the data written on them?
This topic has a large literature. Some degaussing processes both 1) destroy
the data recorded on magnetic media and 2) render these media
you plan to do with the tapes? Reuse, sell, landfill?
