Hi Gil,
Actually, it does make sense (at least to me) to have this threshold set.
We've gone back more than once to rescue a developer or support person who
inadvertently scratched a tape the day before and we were able to recover it
for them by using this "expired but not really" feature.
In the "scratch category" settings, you can set an "expire hold" field that
tells the TS77xx how long to keep an expired tape before releasing it to
scratch. I believe that once that threshold is crossed, the TS77xx rewrites
the tape mark to the beginning of the tape and all data is lost -

I assume the library physically doesn't exist anymore?
Go into ISMF, Library Management, tape library and display your active

We still have remnants of IDs from M activities. Some of them are a 2
character department followed by 3 random digits, the other is EMP. Not
