After further investigation, I have found that adsm is scratching the
tape fine.  Ca1 accepts it as scratched.  However, the next time the=20
tape
is used, we get two messages.

The first is an mvs message that the tape is an unlabeled tape.  Then=20
we
get an 88 message from ca1.  It appears that when adsm scratches the
tape, it destroys its label.

Any ideas out there?  I checked the activity log, and the messages=20
appear
normal.  extract from log follows:
