Hi Richard Thanks for that.
So that means that in my case, I can have volumes 000588-000597 (all K tapes), assigned to the on site tape pool. These will get used before any scratch tapes and will never get used for copypool (our off site pool)? I think that would be fine for me as the main problem I'm facing at the moment is a filling 3494 lib and that's where I want to put the K tapes to use.

The downside is that the tapes remain assigned to the stgpool until deleted, which may be fine for you. You would additionally want to at least temporarily mark any Filling J tapes as read-only. The alternative is to either use UPDate LIBVolume to set J tapes to private for a while or perform CHECKOut LIBVolume with REMove=No on the J tapes, then check them back in as scratch later. It would be kind of nice if the product allowed assigning usage priority values to volumes, to allow individual volumes or a class of volumes to be used ahead of others.
