You really do not HAVE to use INZTAP before reusing it. If the tape has
expired you can write over it. We reserve INZTAP just for new tapes,
CLEARing those reporting errors as an attempt to salvage them, or CLEARing
those we are discarding.
Now, with virtual tape I am a little confused. For example, you may put
an expiration date on your save for 2 weeks, do your save, and your DUPTAP
and your physical tape will expire in two weeks. However, will that hold
true for your virtual tape? If so, then you probably do have to INZTAP it
so that you can save it the next night (also with a two week expiration).
