If the recording technique specified in the request is 36-track, examine the TAPEREQ
statements to determine if the requested media must be:
• Standard and 36track
• Long and 36track
• Standard and LONGItud
• Standard and no recording technique specified.
Notes: If the default VOLATTR specifies MEDia(Standard) RECtech(18track), then
scratch volumes defined as MEDia(Standard) and no recording technique specified cannot
be mounted on a 36-track device.
If a scratch volume is requested from a specific subpool, then a scratch cartridge of the
requested media type must be entered into that subpool in the ACS.
