Process Header Label Information with TMSTPPRO

TMSTPPRO performs the following functions:

• Verifies the content of tape volume header labels
• Erases data from scratched volumes
• Updates the TMC with the content of the header labels (see Note)
• Creates TMC record images with the content of the header labels (see Note)

Note: The use of these functions is not recommended because tape header labels contain only the last 17 characters of the data set name.

TMSTPPRO operates as a started task, and continues to request tape mounts until the system STOP command is issued. The action terminates with the final mount of a volume once the STOP command is issued.

Note: Do not use this utility for tapes in a robotic device.
