Hi Richard!
You remembered correctly! I've had IBM open APAR IC43086 for this behavior.
This problem is projected to be fixed in 5.2.5. My guess it will be fixed in
5.3.1 too then.
Kindest regards,
Eric van Loon

Akash -

I term this "Tape leak", as I summarize in
http://people.bu.edu/rbs/ADSM.QuickFacts . We had a good discussion of
this about 6 months ago on ADSM-L. One member was pursuing it with IBM
as a problem.

For administration at my site, I created a macro called "filling",
which does the following:

SELECT STGPOOL_NAME AS "        STORAGE POOL         ",
CHAR(VOLUME_NAME,6) AS "VOLNAME", PCT_UTILIZED as "PCT UTIL",
DEC(EST_CAPACITY_MB,6) AS "MB_CAPACITY", CHAR(ACCESS,11) AS "ACCESS",
LEFT(CHAR(LAST_WRITE_DATE),19) AS "LAST_WRITE_DATE    "  FROM VOLUMES
WHERE STATUS='FILLING' ORDER BY STGPOOL_NAME

This is handy for monitoring tapes which are in Filling state, and also
watching for tapes which become Readonly due to events occurring as
they are filling.
