TSM writes data on the tape until it hits the physical end of tape.
At THAT TIME, the volume status is FULL and the PCT UTIL is 100%,

But as old versions of backup files (inactive copies) expire, or you delete
a filespace, then the amount of VALID data on the tape drops.  So on A00011,
.2 % of the data is no good any more; on A00013, 23.4% of the data is no
good any more.
