Thanks for that suggestion.  I read the Variable Expansion
chapter many times but interpreted "current number of Volumes
in the Pool" as being a fixed number for a pool with a large
number of pre-labeled volumes.

I just tried using NumVols but the number it produced was 5177.
I guess was wrong about the pre-labeled part but it does seem
to be total number of volumes in the pool and not a number for
the volumes used in the current job so far which is what I
need.

Is there anything else which might be suitable?

I posted first on Feb 17 and after the message did not appear
on the list posted a second time on Feb 20.  Both messages
showed up on the list together a day and a half later.

I am well aware that this is not a paid support list, being
a contributor to open source projects myself.  I am sorry if
you (or anyone else) saw my post as "blackmail" -- when I ask
a question on a mailing list I generally try to always post
closing message saying what I did to resolve (or not) a
problem so the thread has some closure for others with the
same problem who google it up in the future.  I believe I
did that in a factual and neutral way.

Again, thanks for your attempt to help, but what I wrote
still seems true.
