Hi Bill:

When you have the search=bulk   parm in the command and checklabel=barcode then 
you do not need the volsers...
Try this command

checkin libvol stk9730 search=bulk stat=scratch checklabel=barcode

after this do enter the following command       q  request

this will give you the request number and what it wants you do i.e. Fill the 
entry/exit port of stk9730 with volumes and reply when ready

After you have put the tapes in the entry exit port enter the following command:

rep xxx        : where xxx is the reply number associated with  the request , 
obtained by entering q req.

This should work fine.

Unlike the Hotel California, Hotel RI allows you to check-out, but you
never check back-in!

Help!  Our ADSM expert is on vacation so as the AIX administrator I said
"I can do that"!    This is week two and my pool of scratch tapes runith
empty.  When I try to return tapes this is what I get:

adsm> checkin libv stk9730 000139 search=bulk status=scratch
checklabel=barcode
ANR2020E CHECKIN LIBVOLUME: Invalid parameter - SEARCH.
ANS8001I Return code 3.

What incantation must I enter to appease the evil Gods of syntax?

Thanks
