I don't think we ever used this combo of options. Since we are always
checking in a specific tape for a restore, the operators just cut-n-paste
the volser into the command below. Note that the swap=yes option does not
exactly work the way you might expect it to. If the library is full, it
will checkout a tape, but the checkin process then ends, and you must
reissue the command to checkin the tape(s). We have not used it in a long
time, so perhaps things have changed.
The best way to get a handle on this is to go to your library, and "Just
do it!".
Good luck....
