Where did you get this information from? It is of course incorrect. For
example, NetWorker will not wait for an appendable tape that is not in the
library if it has a recyclable tape in the library.

I am fairly sure that the NetWorker docs detail the order that tapes are
used for writing - I suggest that you find this rather than guessing. Also
it would be helpful if you made it clear that this was your understanding of
the way it works, rather than letting people assume that you are stating a fact.
