How does that get associated with the virtual tape device I created?

For reference, at a command line, review the menu at:
GO IGMCLG /* See LODIMGCLG */

"Load the image catalog. This step associates the virtual tape device to the image catalog. Only one image catalog at a time can be associated with a specific virtual tape device.

While the above quoted doc text is under a "save" heading, I expect that should prove useful for the intended DUPTAP activity.
