Thomas,

Here is the text from the manual.

PREFIX=tapevolprefix

     Specifies the high-level qualifier of the data set name in the tape
labels. For all tape volumes assigned to this device class, ADSM uses this
prefix to create the
     data set name. This parameter is optional. The default value is ADSM.

     Values specified for this parameter must meet the following conditions:


          The value is to be made up of qualifiers, which can contain up to
8 characters (including periods). For example, the following value would be
          acceptable:

               AB.CD2.E

          The qualifiers must be separated by a single period.

          The first letter of each qualifier must be alphabetical or
national (@,#,$), followed by alphabetical, national, hyphen, or numeric
characters.

     An example of a tape volume data set name using the default prefix,
with an ADSM qualifier added, is ADSM.BFS.

     If you have already established a tape label naming convention that
supports your current tape management system, consider using a tape volume
prefix that
     conforms to your naming conventions.

Kuli.
