Kevin, you can write a CL to do the following command then copy the
spoolfile to say a data area or file and extract the status to find out if
it is varied on the that particular LPAR.

WRKCFGSTS CFGTYPE(*DEV) CFGD(TAP05) OUTPUT(*PRINT)

                              Display Spooled File

 File  . . . . . :   QSYSPRT                          Page/Line   1/1

 Control . . . . .                                    Columns     1 - 78

 Find  . . . . . .

have a System with two LPARS and one tape drive. The problem I have is
that let's say LPAR- A is scheduled to do its backup first but the
problem is that LPAR - B has the tape drive at a varied ON status how
can I write a CL that will go and vary OFF the tape drive, As long as
the tape is not active.  Then send a message back to LPAR - A to let it
know that it can use the tape drive



Thanks
