Yes. Just use a VOL=SER reference for the tape, and refer to the file by
DSN.
My guess is most of us has hit this issue, and it really is not that
difficult. I've done it many times.

Subject Reading a scratch tape
Hi,
We've been asked to attempt to read a file from a scratched tape.
We use Control-M/Tape as our tape management system.
The tapes are virtual 3490's stored on a TS7770.
The tape has many files, but we only need once specific one.
If it matters, the file is the output of DB/2 backup.
Is this possible?
Thanks
Gadi
