     If you have version 3 of the adsm server, you can use the label
     command from a command line prompt to put an internal label on the
     tapes, rather than using dsmlabel.

Thank you for the information, however, after I initiate that command I am
getting the following error.

ANR9752E  Could not access drive mt1.0.0.1.   It may be in use by another
application.

There are no other applications that use this library and I have no
processes running and the drives are empty?  Any other suggestions?

Thanks again,
Rose M. Campbell
