Zoltan,
Andy's observations were excellent, as always.
I can only add a suggestion to check subject
"Shrinking (dwindling) number of available scratch tapes"
in ADSM QuickFacts, where I summarize some factors.
One classic cause is a tape being needed while one is
momentarily unavailable because it is dismounting.
I find the following macro very handy in identifying stale partial tapes:
/* ADSM macro 'filling'
*/
/*
*/
/* To display volumes in Filling state.
*/
/*
*/
/* INVOCATION: macro filling
*/
/*
*/
/* NOTES: -
*/
/*

/* HISTORY:
