You right.

I got so dependent on my macros that I was not paying attention to
what I was doing.  The real twist was that ADSM appeared to have
accepted the volumes because I could see them.  Plus I was still
wiping the drool off my mouth from the new system.  I owe you a
coffee.

Thanks

       Clint -

       Did you label and checkin or just checkin?

       Checking in with the barcode command does not label the media.

       I would use the label command with the checkin if you haven't already:

       LABEL LIBVOLUME "LIBRARYNAME" SEARCH=YES LABELSOURCE=BARCODE
       CHECKIN=SCRATCH

       Good luck!

               Hello,

               I just brought a secondy Library on line.  A stk 9740 with 9840
               drives.  I did an audit of the lib and all 170 volumes came up.
       I
               then issued a CHEKIN LIBV TEKWOLF VOLRANGE=000000,000169
       STAT=SCRATCH
       volume into
               scratches.

               Here is where it gets hairy.  I decided to due a database back
       to
       the
               new LIB.  What I got was the LIB went to each volume marking
       each
               volume to private (170).  It was trying to due a db backup but
       it
       kept
               getting this error ANR8355E I/O error reading label fo volume
       ### in
               drive  ##.

               Well I decide to call IBM they wanted me to audit the LIB
       again.
       This
               proved fruital because after the audit it blew away all the
       volumes.
               I bet you can't guess what I am doing right now.  Yes that's
       right I
               am auditing the LIB again.

               Can anybody help me on this.
