ALTER VOLCAT Command (Super Group Only)

To change the media type of a tape with CART3480 to DAT:
MC> ALTER TAPEVOLUME TV1, TYPE DAT

To change the media type of a tape with CART3480 to DLTIII and status with
SCRATCH to BAD:
MC> ALTER TAPEVOLUME TV2, TYPE DLTIII, STATUS BAD, POOL POOL1
A count is returned for the number of pool entries affected by the change. This
value might be higher than you expected because the command also changes
entries that already have a status of scratch to scratch.
An error message is returned for each entry that cannot be changed because it
has a status of assigned, selected, or in use.
