Trying to automate nightly backups but running into a problem when save command first executes. OS is reporting "an active volume is found" and wants a reply (c, i, r). I am rotating 5 tapes each week so there is stuff on each tape when the backup is initiated. I know if an INZTAP command precedes the save operation, the problem is solved but...

is there any way to avoid this message under these circumstances without having to do the INZTAP?

Thanx.
