Re: DSPTAPCTG, tape library, and write protect tab

I use a routine that calls QTARCTGI. Loop through the returned list and then 'do something' with each cartridge. You could chktap for example.

I never noticed that the returned Write Protect isn't valid until the tape has been loaded however. Which library do you have?

Suggestions as to most efficient way to cause all tapes in a tape
library to get loaded so the write protect tab status is known?

Thanks,

Jerry
