ALTER VOLUMEENTRY

The ALTER VOLUMEENTRY command modifies the attributes of an existing tape volume entry. Use this command only to recover from tape volume catalog errors.

Because access method services cannot change the library manager inventory in an automated tape library, Interactive Storage Management Facility should be used for normal tape library alter functions.

The syntax of the access method services ALTER VOLUMEENTRY command is:
