Re: How to checkin tapes from I/O-station?

The checkin will work with search=bulk but it will have prompted you and you needed to reply, q req will show prompts and if you then issue reply (number) it will go, alternatively you can put waitt=0 on the end to stop it prompting (presuming you have TSM 5.3). HTH. -Original Messag
