Trinh, Tony,
   Thank you very much!I'm in China.Now about 800 cartridge shill remove from 
the library,can I use this operation:
ADSM>checkout libv XXXX(library name) volrange=bar001,bar800(if the label is 
sequential) remove=yes
        Must I backup DB before I do this?
   The other thing I want to know is that:from the output of the "help 
checkout" I saw "Specifies that a volume is placed into the bulk I/O station. 
The server deletes the volume entry from the server library inventory."  what 
is the meaning?The contents of the cartridge still in the cartridge?
   The last thing I want to ask for advice is that  I can open the library door 
and remove these cartridge manual,then I input my new cartridge manual again 
and label them?

Thanks and regards!
     Feng
