This works for me:

select  stgpools.stgpool_name,stgpools.maxscra-
 tch, count(*) as "Num Volumes" from stgpools,
 volumes where stgpools.stgpool_name=volumes.s-
 tgpool_name and devclass='TAPE'  group by
 stgpools.stgpool_name,stgpools.maxscratch
 order by stgpools.stgpool_name

I get the following out put

My question is how do I subtract "Allocated_SCRATCH Col from the
MaxScratch Col so I can see what the Acutal Scratch Remaining is.  The
plan is to have this be out put to a txt file that can be picked up by
our monitoring system so we can auto genertae a help desk ticket.  I
have searched around (here and the web) and can't seem to find a good
example.

Any insight would be great!!!!!!
