IBM is discouraging me from putting SAVMEDIBRM in a control group.
Unpredictable results may occur.

They want me to take my last step, any my second to the last step out,
combine them in a CL program and make that my last step. If you do not do
SAVMEDIBRM as a control group step, but leave it as part of the control
group itself, it does it before the last step. Therefore the SAVMEDIBRM
info will be on the virtual tape.

Of course, my first several steps are giving them grey hairs but they're
working fine for me. They want me to bust them out into a CL program
also. (See URL at top).
The first sequence is pre control group and the last sequence is post
control group.
I know that initializing BRMS media is normally not done, and I make take
that out, I was initially thinking that it would make the virtual media
smaller and only take longer to ftp if it needed it. I now know better
and probably should take it out.
