Thanks.

Problem with this command is it shows tapes in all the drives due to the
problem i mentioned in my mail. Tapes are in drives due to not being
able to move back to destination slots. I need to confirm the drives
which are in use for the current job(s) running. Normally its just one
job running see and as im using ITC 2 drives will be in use. I need to
determine these so i can then safely move tapes out of the other drives.

Cheers
