Mark,

I've already tried the "move/audit".

"MOVE DATA LU0027" gives...

ANR2209W Volume LU0027 contains no data.
ANS8001I Return code 11.

...and "AUDIT VOLUME LU0027 FIX=YES" gives...

ANR2209W Volume LU0027 contains no data.

The details shown by "q vol LU0027 f=d" do not change.

Best Regards,
   =Adrian=

Some diagnostic work here...

When you MOVE DATA LU0027, what happens?

If it says there's no data to move, and the volume is confirmed as being
in the library, try this:

    AUDIT VOLUME LU0027 FIX=YES

Chances are that the volume will fall to scratch status after this runs
for a minute or two. This happens occasionally when one part of the TSM
database says there are files left, but another part of it says not. The
audit command reconciles this issue.

I've noticed that I have 4 volumes in the library with details similar
to:-

                   Volume Name: LU0027
             Storage Pool Name: 3583LMX
             Device Class Name: 3583CLASS
       Estimated Capacity (MB): 0.0
       Scaled Capacity Applied:
                      Pct Util: 0.0
                 Volume Status: Empty
                        Access: Read/Write
        Pct. Reclaimable Space: 0.0
               Scratch Volume?: Yes
               In Error State?: No
      Number of Writable Sides: 1
       Number of Times Mounted: 17
             Write Pass Number: 1
     Approx. Date Last Written: 06/08/06   00:15:48
        Approx. Date Last Read: 26/01/07   13:07:25
           Date Became Pending:
        Number of Write Errors: 0
         Number of Read Errors: 0
               Volume Location:
Volume is MVS Lanfree Capable : No
Last Update by (administrator): ADMIN
         Last Update Date/Time: 13/03/07   11:33:06

They all have "Estimated Capacity", "Pct Util" and "Pct. Reclaimable
Space" with a value of "0.0" and "Volume Status: Empty". Can anybody
give me some idea why these tapes have not become Scratch tapes?

Many Thanks,
   =Adrian=
