That made me think.

Is it the date/time the Volume is marked Full or Used?

Or

The date/time of the last written job of a volume that is marked used or 
full?

Under usual circumstances, the two dates would be the same.  If it is 
the former, where in the database is that the date of marking full/used 
kept?  media.lastwritten?  If so, is that field updated when the 
volstatus field changes?
