That's true, I should have qualified my statement to say I've had no reason to do that on AIX or Windows TSM servers. The tape management is different for OS/390, and many people use different device classes for just the reason you noted. -Original Message- From: Matthew Lynch

Possible reasons can include: 1. Using a different (maybe offsite?) library for your offsite volumes 2. EstCapacity - if you're using generictape, the capacity of the volume grows as it puts more data on it. If you send a volume offsite, it could only have 3GB and it wouldn't come back until
