Maybe I am missing something, but q vol f=d will show the estimated capacity 
and if the tape is full that number is how much was written to the tape.

Dsmadmc -id=ADMIN -PA=PASSWORD -comma -dataonly=yes q vol t* status=full > 
TAPEFILE

Subject: [ADSM-L] Calculate total data backed up on tape

Hi Everyone,

Would anyone know how to calculate the total amount of data that is stored on 
physical tape?  All of my physical tapes begin with a T* so I'm thinking this 
would be easy, but I have not found the correct syntax that works yet.  Any 
ideas?  Thanks in advance!
