/REWIND
/NOREWIND (default)
As an input save-set qualifier, causes the input tape reel to be
rewound (/REWIND) or not rewound (/NOREWIND) to beginning-of-tape
(BOT) before BACKUP searches for the save-set name specified in
the input specifier.
As an output save-set qualifier, specifies that the output
magnetic tape is to be rewound and initialized before the
save operation begins (/REWIND) or that the tape is neither
to be rewound nor initialized before the save operation begins
(/NOREWIND). Initializing the tape removes access to any existing
data on the tape.
If you want to start processing at BOT, and the magnetic tape is
already positioned beyond BOT, specify /REWIND. Otherwise, the
magnetic tape begins (or resumes) processing from the logical
end-of-tape (EOT) marker.
Use the /[NO]REWIND qualifier for magnetic tape save sets only.
