if one logs on to the vmtape id while vmtape is up-and-running, one
may modify the tape pool assignments ( or do other cms commands )
by entering:

   CMS X TAPE POOL A

at the ready prompt

then make changes to the file and exit, then enter

then implement the new definitions by inputting the commands

   REFRESH POOL
   REFRESH       ( or REFRESH POINTER )


Is it possible to take advantage of this 'CMS' operator from any other
ID, ie

VMTAPE CMS .....

   if so, what privs and/or id must be used

( what I'd really like to be able to do is to erase files
  CPOOL000 PICKLIST and RPOOL000 PICKLIST after initialization and
  after every REFRESH POINTER - ie no scratch tapes available unless
  a pool is specifically requested, the pool exists, and the user is
  authorized to access the pool )  ie, any tape not assigned to a pool
  must be mounted by a request for a specific volser. 'SCRTCH' would
  not be valid unless a pool name was specified because the 'default'
  pools would always be empty/nonexistent.
            currently running VMTAPE 4.2E under XA 2.0 (2.1?)

  reply list or sysmrr at albnyvm1         - thanx
