     Also see what their status is in the library...

     from aix do a "lsdev -Cc tape" to get the lmcp#
     then do a "mtlib -l/dev/lmcp# -qI > librinv" or something like that or
     view on the screen, the volser will be 1st position and the category
     will be the second... FFFD is a 3590 cleaner, FFFA is manually
     ejected, 012C & 012D I believe are the hex representations for the
     install defaults for private & scratch tapes under adsm...300 & 301
     but our atl's show 012C & 012E  so is it OS/2 that can't convert
     dec->hex or AIX that can't  and what will happen when this bug gets
     fixed ? ? ? will all out scratch tapes go away ? ? ?

     ***** there is also the REUSE DELAY  that once a tape rolls scratch it
     ain't really scratch for umpteen days... I've set mine to ZERO so I
     can't really say what the tapes look like during the reuse delay
     period...

     later,
           Dwight

Are you using a library?  Have you checked the library to see if there are
scratch volumes available (q libv).
