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.

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.
