Joseph,

Consider the following possibility.

The 24% utilisation could come about if the volume, already marked as full,
now only contains 24% of its total capacity in valid files.  The remaining
76% being occupied by expired data.  A tape reclamation may be in order.

The 100% utilised and still filling means (at least in my case) that the
tape hasn't yet filled and is being used for the first time.  In my case my
DLT volume started with an estimated capacity of 15GB and showed 100%
utilised but continued filling with data until it reached 69GB at which
point it said 99.7% utilised and full.  (I think there may be a little room
for my data to compress!)

I am not very experienced with ADSM but the above explanation would be
consistent with my understanding of IBM's older mainframe products (DFHSM
and DFSMS) on MVS.
