You create a SVM under the VM server's control which runs an EXEC to
request tape mounts from your tape manager. Send me your US Mail
address or a FAX and I can send you a copy of Dr. Thiele's [sp?]
presentation from SHARE which has sample code to talk to VMTAPE.

Or can I *not* do this if Eric's not a SHARE member?
