Hi,
I tried deleting the tape file using the below JCL:
//JS010 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
//DEL1 DD DSN=abc.xyz,
// DISP=(OLD,DELETE,DELETE)
The job was submitted successfully and the file was Uncataloged.
But if i go into CA1 and look in the UNcataloged for the file, then the file is still holding the volume. It has not released it yet. So how to make the file release volume.
Please help me in solving this. |

It is getting Uncataloged. If i try to see the file, then i get a message file not found. But still it is having the volume on which it was stored. |

the only way to solve it is for You to understand the tape handling logic,
a tape dataset will be on the physical tape until the tape gets written over
even when using a tape management system tapes returned to the scratch pool still contain data,
and the data can still be accessed outside the TMS |
