This command is used when running the SVTSUTIL program to return scratched Virtual Volumes to the scratch cell pool for reuse in a CA Vtape Complex that does not have its Virtual VOLSER ranges defined in the Volume Pool Definition Section of parmlib (VTPOOLS member). In this environment the Scratch Synchronization Job does an internal VVE_FREECELLS first and then uses a tape management system scratch report to scratch Virtual Volumes. The newly scratched Virtual Volumes are not returned to the scratch cell pool for reuse until the next run of the Scratch Synchronization Job. If a scratch shortage occurs before to the next run of the Scratch Synchronization Job, you can use this command to immediately make the last set of scratched Virtual Volumes available for reuse.
In a CA Vtape Complex that does use the Volume Pool Definition Section, this command does nothing.
