Here's how i wait on a process to finish. Basically i query the process and if it's still running i re-spawn the schedule for ten minutes later. If you have any questions please let me know.

MOVE DATA can take a long time, and I might not see when it completes. I might not even be awake. The problem is that I get the following error message: ANR8442E UPDATE LIBVOLUME: Volume CPM642 in library ATLP3000 is currently in use. The tape is still mounted according to QUERY MOUNT, because it is rewinding, unloading, and being put away in its slot by my robotic friend inside the library. Either: 1. There is some kind of SLEEP command for scripts that I am overlooking. 2. There is a bug in MOVE DATA WAIT=YES in that it does not wait for the tape to rewind and unload and get put away by the robot.
