We do an unattended backup nightly using SAVLIB(*ALLUSR) to a 3570 Magstar
tape drive.  Every once in a while we get error message CPF5349 Media error
on volume tapnn on device TAP02.  Since we MONMSG CPF0000 this ends our
backup.  

I would like to be able to monitor for CPF5349, unload the bad tape and
continue on with the backup using the next tape in the library.  Anyone have
a great idea how to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance,
