I have written the "select" statement to choose the volumes but I can not join the following 2 commands? Any help will be appreciated. 1) select volume_name from volhistory where (type='BACKUPFULL') and (cast((CURRENT_TIMESTAMP-date_time)days as decimal(18,0))<=2) 2) checkout libvolume 3583lib XXXXX remove=bulk checklabel=no Regards, Burak
