Subject: TSM 5.2x & IBM 3584 Library

Hey guys, quick question.

We recently upgraded to an IBM3584 library from an older 3494. We now
have to manually interact with the library for tape check in or outs.
When our DR media is created we have to 'q request' and then 'rep #' of
the request for each tape. This obviously is a pain since we have to
reply for every tape that is moved in or out. I was curious if you guys
had a script that could automatically reply to all open requests
perhaps? We were told upgrading to
5.3 would fix it but I'm curious if there's a way to do it without the
upgrade. If you guys can think of anything let me know :)
