Hi Richard! You remembered correctly! I've had IBM open APAR IC43086 for this behavior. This problem is projected to be fixed in 5.2.5. My guess it will be fixed in 5.3.1 too then. Kindest regards, Eric van Loon

We had a good discussion of this about 6 months ago on ADSM-L. One member was pursuing it with IBM as a problem. For administration at my site, I created a macro called "filling", which does the following: SELECT STGPOOL_NAME AS " STORAGE POOL ", CHAR(VOLUME_NAME,6) AS "VOLNAME", PCT_UTILIZED as "PCT UTIL", DEC(EST_CAPACITY_MB,6) AS "MB_CAPACITY", CHAR(ACCESS,11) AS "ACCESS", LEFT(CHAR(LAST_WRITE_DATE),19) AS "LAST_WRITE_DATE " FROM VOLUMES WHERE STATUS='FILLING' ORDER BY STGPOOL_NAME This is handy for monitoring tapes which are in Filling state, and also watching for tapes which become Readonly due to events occurring as they are filling.
