Operator response

Determine if the desired volume can be made secure after the data set is created. If the request is for a direct access volume, determine if there have been any opportunities for prior offline use of the volume by an unauthorized user. If the request is for a tape, make sure that it is either a new tape, an old secure checkpoint volume, or an old tape which has been bulk erased. Reply ‘YES’ to allow the use of the volume for checkpoint entries. Reply ‘NO’ to prevent its use for checkpoint entries. If the reply is ‘YES’, attach a special label to the volume to indicate that the volume contains a checkpoint data set.
