List, I am trying to set up a job that will execute a library backup of our test iSeries server using Remote Execution (REXEC) from our VSE mainframe system. This iSeries server is planned to be located off-site in the same location where our off-site backups are stored. The plan is for the operator to load a scratch tape each time they go there to rotate tapes. Then later that night, they will execute the job from VSE. I have similar REXEC jobs that issue commands to the iSeries and wait for the results. They all work great. I know that I can issue the CHKTAP DEV(devicename) and if a tape is loaded, will return the message, "Volume volser found on device devicename." What I would *really* like to do is to also verify that the write protect is not set for that tape (this, unfortunately, happens too often here). Is there a command that I can issue that will tell me if a tape loaded on a specific device has the write protect set? We are on v5r4. TIA
