Tommy,

Yup, the easiest way that I found to check in multiple new volumes to a 3494
library is creating a text file like below. Then log in to TSM and run a
macro against that file...show below too... Hopefully these tapes have
already been formatted.



$ more checkin
checkin libv ids01atl1 1a1321 devt=3590 status=scratch
checkin libv ids01atl1 1a1323 devt=3590 status=scratch

Subject: Checkin multiple tapes to 3494 library

Hi *SM'ers

Is there a way to check in multiple new volumes (with barcodes) to a 3494
library as scratch?
