CLRTAP Clear Tape

CLRTAP Clear Tape
The Clear Tape command clears the information about the tape labels on a specified device. This allows new data to be written to the tape. Unlike INZTAP, CLRTAP retains the existing Volume ID and Owner ID. Because it must access existing information, CLRTAP is slower than INZTAP. An option exists on CLRTAP to prompt INZTAP using the current values found on the tape.
