If you have a 'filling volume' you can move data from a tape that needs to be
reclaimed (with very little data) hence freeing up a new volume. Of course,
you may need to adjust reuse delay to get this back as scratch immediately.

Actually doing the Move data command doesn't require any scratch tapes at all.
Have done it a ton of times as we run out of scratch/space all of the time.
It's a never ending battle here!!

This depends on having some scratch/filling volumes available, though.
Based on what Tom said, there is no space at all available in any pool. The
first step needs to be to get some scratch tapes available, then RECLAIM/MOVE
can be a viable option.
