Tim,

Occasionaly I will have a problem where a volume will show up as
reclaimable and it won't reclaim..
I will try and delete the volume discard=yes(volume being a offsite tape)
and it won't do it either.

I do an "audit volume XXXXXX  fix=yes"  to resolve the problem..

XXXXXXX= volser number.

You could also try moving data on the volume

"move d A00044 stg=NT_TAPE"   if nothing happens , look back in the actlog
to find out what the problem is...

I don't see any read/write errors ? Is the tape in the library ??  Is the
category what it should be ???
