    This item is a valid requirement but unlikely to be given high enough priority to be placed into the product plan. Please refer to the enhancement in the previous comments that described the enhancement put into z/OS V2R1.

    DFSMShsm will terminate Recycle processing for a Recall that has been waiting. This is called Recall takeaway. The DFSMShsm Storage Administration manual has tables that define which functions will takeaway a tape from another running function. In order to automatically restart Recycle processing for tapes that were terminated due to a Recall takeaway, z/OS DFSMShsm V2R1 added a new function through SETSYS RECYCLETAKEAWAYRETRY that will automatically restart these interrupted Recycle commands.
