Zoltan,

Andy's observations were excellent, as always.

I can only add a suggestion to check subject
"Shrinking (dwindling) number of available scratch tapes"
in ADSM QuickFacts, where I summarize some factors.
One classic cause is a tape being needed while one is
momentarily unavailable because it is dismounting.

I find the following macro very handy in identifying stale partial tapes:

/* ADSM macro 'filling'                              */
/*                              */
/* To display volumes in Filling state.                              */
/*                              */
/* INVOCATION:  macro filling                              */
/*                              */
/* NOTES:  -                              */
/*                              */
/* HISTORY:                              */
/*                              */
/*     2003/05/06  Written by Richard Sims                              */
/*                              */
