<p>The Create Tape Category (CRTTAPCGY) command creates a user defined category name and assigns it to a system name. A category may be used to "group" volume identifiers together. The following special value categories have been provided by the operating system and are defined for all library devices.
</p>
<ul>
<li>*NOSHARE
<p>For D/T3494 tape media libraries the volume identifier may only be used by the system that owns the rights of the *NOSHARE. Other tape media libraries can have cartridge identifiers in the *NOSHARE category, but the security of the *NOSHARE is not handled by the operating system.
</p>
</li>
<li>*SHARE400
<p>The cartridge identifier may be shared by all systems that are attached to the library device.
</p>
</li>
<li>*IPL
<p>This category should be used for cartridge identifiers that would be used in an alternate IPL. The management of the cartridges in the category must be done by the user.
</p>
</li>
<li>*NL
<p>The cartridge identifier in this category must have no logical volume identifier in order for it to be used. If it has a logical volume identifier, an Initialize Tape (INZTAP) command must be done to initialize the tape volume to a non-labeled tape before it can be used.
</p>
</li>
<li>*INSERT
<p>The cartridge identifier has been placed in the library device, but has not yet been added to the system. An Add Tape Cartridge (ADDTAPCTG) command must be done before any I/O may be done to the tape volume.
</p>
</li>
<li>*EJECT
<p>The volume identifier has been removed from the system by a Remove Tape Cartridge (RMVTAPCTG) command and is no longer usable by the library device.
</p>
</li>
<li>*CNV
<p>When a tape in this category is unloaded by specifying ENDOPT(*UNLOAD), OS/400 will automatically export the tape to the convenience station.
</p>
</li>
<li>*SYSGEN
<p>The cartridge ID exists in the *SYSGEN category. *SYSGEN category is used for all cartridges when the library device description is in *SYSGEN mode. A library device description is in *SYSGEN mode when the GENCTGID parameter is *SYSGEN in the device description. *SYSGEN mode is used to generate identifiers for non-bar code libraries instead of loading and reading all the logical volume identifiers directly from the tape. If the library device is in *SYSGEN mode, cartridges cannot be moved from the *SYSGEN category.
</p>

<h3>Category (CGY)</h3>
<p>Specifies the category being created.
</p>
<p><b>Element 1: Category name</b>
</p>
<dl>
<dt><b><i>character-value</i></b></dt>
<dd>Specify the name of the category to create.
</dd>
</dl>
<p><b>Element 2: Category system</b>
</p>
<p>Identifies the system the category belongs to. The system name is obtained from the current system name field of a Display Network Attributes (DSPNETA) command.
</p>
<dl>
<dt><b><u>*CURRENT</u></b></dt>
<dd>The system currently running the command.
</dd>
<dt><b><i>character-value</i></b></dt>
<dd>Specify the name of the system that the category belongs to. Do not attempt to create a category and specify an owning system other than *CURRENT, unless the category has previously been defined on the system specified. For example, If system A and system B are attached to library device LIB01, then CRTTAPCGY CGY(CAT1 A) creating category CAT1 and assigning as its owner system A is required on system A before a CRTTAPCGY CGY(CAT1 A) creating category CAT1 and assigning as its owner system A can be done on system B. If both of these create commands are successful, CAT1 owned by system A is logically considered the same category and can be used for cartridges in library LIB01.
