Thanks, but I already know how to change the reusedelay value, and I don't
want to set the value to 0.  I'm wondering if there is another setting
that tells TSM how often to check and see what the reusedelay value is set
to.

When I set the reusedelay period for one of my tape storage pools to a
lower value in order to force more tapes to go from pending status to
empty, I notice that it can take anywhere from a few minutes to as much
as
an hour for the tapes to change status.  I'm guessing this is because
there is some interval set at which TSM checks on the resusedelay value.
Does anybody know how/if this value can be changed so that I can make
the
interval shorter?
