Tape backup question

I ran into a situation last week end that I am trying to handle in a CLP 
program.

Situation: I am saving 6 libraries (A1-A6) to tape. The libraries are specified 
in one savlib command not separate savlib commands. The tape drive is a 3570 
with 10 tapes loaded.

While writing library A3 to tape, the end of tape is reached. The next tape is 
loaded BUT it is write protected so an error message is displayed and the 
backup stopped.

What I would like to do is monitor for the CPF6768 and unload the write 
protected tape and load the next tape and then continue on with the backup.

Is this possible?

I have not coded or tested it yet but am thinking about it.

Thanks in advance
