Hey Dwight , and all thanks you very much for instant reply.

so  should i wait and watch ? TSm will automatically checkin  that volume as a
scratch after reuse delay period expiration ha?
and should i pull  out  the volume which states  full?and send them to offsite?

another thing is that i have added 60 DLT`+ having some 60 before adding s to
Library , but only 4 tapes are in tapepool and  and 30 atapes in copypool
but when i issue q libvol all tapes shows status =  private . so is it ok or i
am doing something wrong? i mean to say should i define these tapes when adding
to library to tapepool or copypool or TSM will take care of allocation?
Thank you very much  once again.

full : end of volume has been reached... %util is low because files have
expired... must run reclamation to get back
pending : check your "reusedelay" setting... tape has gone empty but
reusedelay is preventing it from rolling scratch again (for x number of
days)
