     Help!  I know there's a way to do this, but darn if I can remember it.
I
entered 200 new tape cartridges into my 3494 ATL, expecting to perform a
'checkin libv' with the 'search' parameter later.  Every volume issued a
labelcheck error on mounting to the drive.  (They were ordered labelled and
initialized.)  Now, I'm trying to get just one of the volumes out of the
library
so that I can try to label it with 'overwrite' on checkin.  The library
knows of
the volume, but not ADSM.  How can I get this tape out??  (Is it an mtlib
command?  I'm shakey on my UNIX, so please be specific!)

                         Thanks,

                         Ginny
