With TAPELIBR authorization, a tape librarian can use the CA VM:Tape CATALOG and EDIT commands to list any information in the TMC for all tapes, and can easily scan and modify information in TMC fields.
The EDIT command should be used only by experienced individuals to correct known errors in certain key TMC fields. If you need to change expiration dates, volume sequence information, or data set names, use the CATALOG command. The CATALOG command, unlike the EDIT command, verifies information you enter and, if the affected volume is part of a multivolume sequence, propagates changes across the volumes and data sets in that sequence.
Note: When you use the EDIT command to change the scratch status of a tape, the new status will not be reflected in the picklist until you run the CA VM:Tape REFRESH POINTER command with the NOSYNC option. For more information about using the CATALOG and EDIT commands, see the Command Reference Guide.
