>Hi ADSM fans,

>Is there anyone who have experience with the labelling of tapes.
>We are using a Windows NT 4.0 environment, with IBM Magstar 3570 connected.
>Further we are using ADSM Version 3.1 for the servers and Version 3.1.3 on

>If we label tapes with the LABEL LIBV MAGLIB LABELSOURCE=BARCODE
>CHECKIN=SCR OVERWRITE=NO SEARCH=YES command, none of the tapes are
>labelled.
>If we however use the DSMLABEL.EXE -DRIVE=xx,xx -LIBRARY=xxx -OVERWRITE
>-SEARCH -BARCODE - KEEP utility it worked fine.

>I thought that LABEL LIBV has the same functionality as the DSMLABEL
