A tape containing some 11 000 files has become unreadable. The I/O error was 
discovered in a BACKUP STG process and  these is no other backup of the data.

What I am trying to ascertain / list  is what data will be lost. As far as I 
can see only "inactive" data is going to be lost permanently.

The following SQL is what I issued to list the content of the tape . 

select state,  hl_name, ll_name, backup_date from BACKUPS, CONTENTS  where 
volume_name='500308'   

The output was so large that the hard drive I directed the output and the 
recovery log filled. 

Is there something wrong with this statement that would produce so much output 
or is it valid? I would like to find this out before I submit it with the added 
limiting statement of where state=inactive
