Thanks. You are right.  The problem is that an IBM technician worked on 3494
library and took the library off line a month ago.  So, the library missed a
couple of scheduled jobs.  The missing tapes won't ejected.  So, what I did
is I checked in these tapes and checked them out again.  Thanks again.
