When you recycle a rewritable tape volume, you can leave the volume in its current storage group, reassign the volume as an OAM scratch volume, or remove the volume from OAM control. After OAM moves the objects off of the tape volume, it recycles the tape volume using the parameters that are specified in the SETOAM TAPERECYCLEMODE statement in the CBROAMxx member of PARMLIB. You can immediately reuse the tape volume.
