Your use of Markfull explains why you have volumes that you can't use although they are 99% empty. Reuse would make more sense. But that's just my opinion. Why not open an ETR with IBM and get a definitive answer?

Sorry Dave, I should have made clear that the Spill volumes are DASD volumes as well, so MARKFULL, recycle etc doesn't apply (I'm not using any tapes at all, everything's DASD).

If for some reason you feel you need to use Markfull, then you need to recycle on a regular basis to avoid running out of available output volumes.
