Keith,
The status after the move is 'EMPTY.'
I have an script that moves data off of 'filling' tapes. I found that
while the percent utilization in a storage pool might be low, the
percent migratable was high. Every used volume in a storage pool adds
to % migratable, even if it does not hold much data. When % migratable
is too high, no data can be written to the storage pool, regardless of
the storage pool's utilization. I script a 'q vol stgpool=???
st=filling', use that data in a 'q vol' to get utilization, then move
data off of the least full tape. I have a loop that executes the
process because utilization values change between iterations. The
volumes are assigned to storage pools, so I guess they aren't scratch,
but they are empty and usable.

Jim,
You must mean FULL rather than FILLING, and PENDING rather than SCRATCH,
yes/no?
Thanks again,
Keith
