4. Using SETMEDBRM to Involve BRMS in Managing the Tape

You need to use the SETMEDBRM command only once to control the input from TAPFIL and output to TAPFIL2. For input, the File Label field, TAPEFILXMP, controls which tape is selected. The Select Version field instructs BRMS to associate TAPEFILXMP with the correct tape, in our case T00009.

For output, the fields Media Class, Move Policy, Secure Volume, and Retention all control the tape that is selected and its media management characteristics after the tape is written.
