Error description

• RELABELSCRATCH paramater does not work on VTL with REUSEDELAY
  parameter greater than 0
  
  Problem Description:
  When the RESUSEDELAY parameter is set to a value greater than 0,
  volumes are not relabeled properly per the RELABELSCRATCH
  parameter in the device class.
  
  The following message will be seen when the scratch volume goes
  pending:
  ANR1342I Scratch volume XXXXXXL# is now pending - volume will be
  deleted from storage pool STORAGE_POOL after the reuse delay
  period for this storage pool has elapsed
  
  And later the volume is deleted from the storage pool:
  ANR1341I Scratch volume XXXXXXL# has been deleted from storage
  pool STORAGE_POOL
  
  However it is not relabeled.
  
  Versions affected:  5.5, 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3
  

Local fix

  deletion
