    NBU Catalog Management is a very powerful tool for tape and disk images.  This is how I create my synthectic fulls from tapes previously created:

    vmchange  -m 000102 -d "Monthly_2014_02_Feb" -h scfbi0p0nbu9.scfbins1.com
    bpexpdate -m 000102 -d 05/01/2015 23:59:59 -host scfbi0p0nbu9.scfbins1.com -force

    This will take the tape(s) you specify and "flag" them for you.  I hope this is what you are asking for...
