Just hard code the unit type in you JCL...

//xxxx DD DSN=xxxx,UNIT=3490,DISP=SHR,VOL=SER=(volser1,volser2).

This may not be practical for a large list of volumes, but should work just 
fine for the example shown.

Subject: ALTERING DEVTYPE IN THE CATALOG ENTRY

Good Day To All

We have a serious problem.  We got rid of all our 3480 type drives however a 
user needs to read some very old data.

I was wondering if I can alter the CATALOG ENTRY of the DEVTYPE to 3490?  If 
so, would you have an example.

Below is a LISTCAT of the user's tape dsn:

NONVSAM ------- HEST.DPROM01.RCI690                                
      IN-CAT --- SYS1.ICFCAT.UCATHEST                                     
      HISTORY                                                            
        DATASET-OWNER-----(NULL)     CREATION--------2005.040            
        RELEASE----------------2     EXPIRATION------0000.000            
      VOLUMES                                                            
        VOLSER------------V05234     DEVTYPE------X'78048080'     FSEQN--
        VOLSER------------V07289     DEVTYPE------X'78048080'     FSEQN--

Thanks
