Not sure which program makes the decision, planner or something else, but what you are seeing is a first check on each DLE and what it needs. Then after all DLE's are determined individually, a check as to how close to the average daily run size (tape usage) that comes in total. If low by a significant amount, some promotion, as you observed, may be done to try and achive a long-term balance. -- Jon H.
