Use the SCRATCH command to return expired tape volumes to scratch status. CA VM:Tape considers a tape volume to be expired when its expiration date is before or the same as the current date. The SCRATCH command also handles the scratching of last-used controlled tapes (or LDATE nnn) and cycle-controlled tapes (or CYCLE nnn).
Run the SCRATCH command at the end of each work day, before midnight. This allows volumes expiring on the current day to be available for use through the end of that day.
Note: For syntax information about the SCRATCH command, see the Command Reference Guide.
