No Davina,

I have checked this behaviou thotoughly & was communicating this with Jack &
Craig in the list.

Actually, it takes the expiration date as per the longest retention period
set for the Networker Server. We have chked this at our office on Windows &
a customer site on Solaris. So despite the fact that the tape gets marked
"recyc", it does not get expired as its expiration date is set for very
long.

Thanks & Regards,
