You can apply a patch that allows DFSMShsm to issue a WTOR message for SETSYS TAPEOUTPUTPROMPT processing instead of the current WTO message. The WTOR message is ARC0332R and the default WTO message is ARC0332A. Message ARC0332R is satisfied when the tape is mounted and opened, and the operator replies ‘Y’ to the outstanding WTOR. This gives the operator a chance to ensure that the correct type of tape is mounted, even if ACL/ICL devices are being used. Processing will not continue until ‘Y’ is entered. The patch to request a WTOR is:

PATCH .MCVT.+4C3 BITS(.......1)

The patch to revert to the WTO is:

PATCH .MCVT.+4C3 BITS(.......0)
