     Yes CA-Uni has a TMS, BUT....

     Uni's tape labels are NOT compatable with ADSM, nor is their tracking.
     We tried to get the two to work 'together' for about 4 months...gave
     up. We tried to get them to 'tolerate' each other, gave up on that
     too.

     The products conduct an interesting tug-of-war with ADSM winning
     almost every time, while Uni complains loudly by flooding its' console
     with messages.  IMHO, Uni's implementation of tape labels is slightly
     less painfull than closing a car door on your hand.

     Good luck!

Computer Associates has an AIX product called CA-Unicenter which has
a Tape management system.  It was designed from the MVS product.  As
a matter of fact many of the reports are identical.   You'll have to contact
Computer Associates to determine whether or not it will fill your needs.

Good Luck 8-)).
