This can't be true, all my devc EST-CAPACITY are at 0, and I'm
     certainly writing to tapes, besides the admin guide states that the
     parm is optional.  Or is zero a 'special case'?

Hi Chris,

If your EST-CAPACITY is only defined to 20GB (see DEV-Config) then ADSM
will only write this amount of DATA on it even if it could write more.

Tip: Define EST-CAPACITY higher than your physical tape capacity. Take
care if HW-Compression is in effect, the go even higher.

If you controll the EST-CAPACITY full tapes, and yout have your defined
EST-Capacity reached, then raise this value again.

Kind regards
