Protecting Tape Reuse

The ACFERASE utility erases all of a tape's data, protecting against unauthorized data access to implement tape volume reuse protection. This utility is a standalone program. It executes in the CMS transient area and uses the CMS tape macros. Give the person responsible for the protection of tape volumes authority to use this utility. This person is usually the system operator. You should never give this privilege to any other user. You can find more information about the ACFERASE utility and the ACFERASE commands in the Reports and Utilities Guide.
