RE: Unattended SAVE with INZTAP

[Chris Bipes <rpg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Prompt your save command.  There is an option to check for active volumes
which you can change to *NO.  There is also a Clear option you can play
with.  The best bet is to calculate an expire date and use that option on
the back ups.  That way you do not clear or over write a tape you need to
save just because someone left it in the drive.
