Nope.  

but if you do it a lot you can write a simple looping script:

#!/bin/ksh
for tape in $*
do
  echo "Expiring $tape"
  bpexpdate -ev $tape -d 0 -force
done
exit

-M

Hello.

I want to expire early a series of tapes in my continuing micromanagement of
NBU tapes....

Is there a way to expire a series of tapes under one command line as opposed
to doing it over and over and over again

./bpexpdate -ev $Tapenumber1 -d 0

something like
./bpexpdate -ev $tapeid1 $tapeid2 $tapeid3 .... -d 0
