Mike,

Have you considered using CHKTAP command?

Subject: Unload Tape from CL Pgm?

Hi Everyone,

I thought I had seen a discussion of this a while back, but I've searched
the archives and come up with nothing. We've got a batch job that does
various things and then copies some files from a tape.

The CPYF command is set to unload the tape when it's done, but if the job
runs into a problem before it gets there the tape never unloads. I'd like
to put in an error handler that will abort the job and unload the tape,
but I don't see a CL command that does that. I tried RMVTAPCTG, but that
seems to apply to media library devices, which we don't have. All I want
to do is what the CPYF command does with the *UNLOAD option.

Any suggestions as to what I might try?  Thanks very much,
