Keith, The status after the move is 'EMPTY.'
I have an script that moves data off of 'filling' tapes. I found that while the percent utilization in a storage pool might be low, the percent migratable was high. Every used volume in a storage pool adds to % migratable, even if it does not hold much data. When % migratable is too high, no data can be written to the storage pool, regardless of the storage pool's utilization. I script a 'q vol stgpool=??? st=filling', use that data in a 'q vol' to get utilization, then move data off of the least full tape. I have a loop that executes the process because utilization values change between iterations. The volumes are assigned to storage pools, so I guess they aren't scratch, but they are empty and usable.

Jim, You must mean FULL rather than FILLING, and PENDING rather than SCRATCH, yes/no? Thanks again, Keith
