Being that tight, I would suggest you do not look at reclaimation, think move 
data.  That way you can pick a volume, and move it to reclaim the space, then 
build on that until there is enough space to let reclaimation take over.  
Reclaim sometimes is not as predictable as you would like.  Also consider 
re-use delay changes.

As for a place to write.  Either you will need to locate a scratch tape or make 
one tape scratch.

No, that is my problem. I am in kind of a tight spot and we have had numerous 
Admins leave recently all at once. TSM server has not been attended to lately 
as it should and has gotten out of hand... so no there is literally NO disk or 
tape space anywhere that I can temporarily use....
There would be space if reclamation ran, because I have a lot of reclaimable 
space, but there is nowhere for the reclamation process to put the files that 
are good on the reclaimable volumes.... I'm kind of stuck here.

Can you provide some space in a DISK or FILE pool, and then set RECLAIMSTGPOOL 
for the pool that's completely out of space? That will allow reclamation to use 
space emporarily in the referenced pool.
