Scratch Tape Inventory

When executed with a SCRATCHRELIST parameter, TMSCLEAN generates a report file of all volumes currently in scratch status in the TMC. No additional scratching is performed.

This variation of TMSCLEAN is frequently executed weekly, so that tapes that were not in their slot in the library when pulling the SCRATCHLIST can be placed into the scratch pool.
