YES, I supposed I should have pointed that out.
The original poster asked how to find what tape a specific file is on.
I was posting the contents of the original IBM TECHNOTE that explain how
to do that with a SHOW command.
I believe as you do that steps C. and D. in the TECHNOTE are VERY
(DANGEROUSLY) incorrect.
I will try to find the right person in IBM to get that corrected.

Wanda,
Maybe I'm having a senior moment, but if you do a backup excluding all
other files, isn't that the same to TSM
as deleting them all from the client so they become inactive and expire
according to their management classes.
