Yes, thats what I do too (actually have an extra step to move fron vaultretrieve to courierretrieve). And I also want to use this list to specifically check them in. > The I run the following which I put in a script I call checkin, less typing > "run checkin" > > checkin libvol ibm3584 search=bulk status=scratch checkl=barcode But this will checkin all volunes in the bulk, even the ones for the other logical library (or are not vaultretrieve/courierretrieve for that matter). That is why I want to use the above list to specifically checkin the volumes. > Next q req, and finally, reply request number, that's it. I do not have to > have a drive free for this process because the checkl=barcode. Operators put in the tapes in the bulk and then run the custom-checkin script. So if my checkin syntax would have been valid things would have been much simpler: checkin libv 3584lib <volume> checklabel=barcode search=bulk -Marcel > -----Original Message----- > From: Marcel J.E.
