Cause

Per a conversation with IBM and checking the OCDS and MCDS, the tape display indicates the volser is not there

IBM stated that it means  HSM doesn't know anything about this tape. Looking at the CA1 listing, the tape was last used on LDATE = 2015/067. What may have happened is that ARCTVEXT which is supplied by CA abended and did not release the tape in CA1. So it would mean the volser needs to be manually expired and removing the EDM flag using TMSUPDTE utility supplied by CA1

Resolution

Utilize TMSUPDTE which can be found in the *.CTAPJCL library.

VOL XXXXXX

REP EXPDT= today's date or a day in the past
REP FLAG2=01

When TMSCLEAN runs the volser will be scratched
