Victor, Within CA 1 there are a number of fields you can use. If it is a physical tape however, the best field to use is the Percent Utilization field. This is extremelly accurate for 3590-emulated devies (3590's, 3592, TS11x0's). This tell the exact percentage of the tape that has been used. So, once a tapes gets beyond 90 or 95% full you might want to stop adding additional data to it.
