ADD Command—Activate a Volume Record Marked as Inactive

Use the ADD command to activate an inactive (deleted) volume serial number to make it available for use. The volume serial number must be in the TMC and in inactive (delete) status.

From the system console, this command has the following format:

nn,'U,vvvvvv,ADD[,DSN=dsname]'

From a non-system console, this command has the following format:

U,vvvvvv,ADD[,DSN=dsname]

If the tape is not in inactive status, TIQ responds with:

VOLSER=vvvvvv DSN=dsname
VOLUME IS NOT IN DELETE STATUS
UPDATE REJECTED VOLSER=vvvvvv
IEETMS1 AWAITING REQUEST/REPLY (ENTER C TO EXIT CA 1 INQ/UPD SESSION)

If the record is in inactive status, TIQ responds with:

VOLSER=vvvvvv DSN=* THIS TAPE IS IN DELETE STATUS *
VOLUME WILL BE CHANGED TO ACTIVE STATUS
REPLY 'U' OR 'R'
