Hi Len. If you submit a bunch of recalls HSM will automatically sort them based on the volser they are on - in other words all of the recalls in the queue, that are on the same volume, will get recalled one after the other.
If you use the earlier response of issuing the TSO HLIST LEVEL(whatever.level.qualifier) OUTDATASET(output.dataset.name), you can sort by the physical volser, build the recall commands, submit them to HSM and HSM will get them ordered for you. If you are not using the CRQ then you will need to issue all of the recall commands, for datasets on the same tape, on the same system for HSM to handle it properly - otherwise you will get multiple HSM's contending for the same tape. Hope this helps!

We have View Direct / Mobius report viewer. It has 100,000's of HSM migrated files in our 3494 library. If they just issue recalls for these in some order they choose, the physical tape and file order will be random and slow. On a good day, 500 recalls would probably be the max we could allow before we would need the drives for overnight production. I think when I did the math, it was 3-4 years worth of recalls. (That's OK, I need this job :-) ) Is there a faster way? If I had a list of files they wanted, could I send the recalls in tape - file sequence somehow to "batch" them?
