Iancu,

Dwights method works, I use it all the time.  I have a 3590 Library with 10 
tapes, 1
drive.  I have a 16 GB diskpool.  Twice a week I run a script to reclaim the 
space
on tapes that are marked FULL but have have less than 50% capacity.  Basically 
the
script runs at a time when there should be no sessions going on.  The move data
command is run with wait=yes (sometimes there is more than one tape to be 
reclaimed,
and since we only have one drive...)  It works well.  I never have to worry 
about
doing this manually.
