Delayed tape access

...-CONTROL=*HOLD-REQUESTS forces all requests of the specified access type to wait. It temporarily prohibits any access of the specified type to the archive involved.

All requests affected are logged in the request file until another value is entered changing tape control for this access type.

Note

If VALID-PERIOD=*SESSION was specified for the first MODIFY-TAPE-CONTROL statement, tape control changes the next time HSMS starts, which usually means that the delayed requests are started.
