Consider the following scenario.

I have a savestream/filesytem that I want to keep for only 3 days because the 
data is useless after
that.  The data is around 20G which is smaller than my DLT7000 tapes and 
considerably smaller
depending on compression rate.  I have create a pool of tapes and a schedule 
for 3 days.  I have
also set the retention time and browse policy to 3 days for this client's 
particular filesystem.

My problem is this.  For demonstration sake, lets say I get hardly any 
compression and I can store
2 nights backups on each tape (if I get more the following situation just gets 
worse).  The first
tape would not recycle after 3 days because it contains the day after saveset.  
So is there any way
to mark the last tape used (in case it goes multiple tapes) automatically full 
so that the next
nights backup would start on a new/recycled tape?
