Re: [Veritas-bu] Barcode label oddity.
Greetings, It looks like when the tapes were first loaded in, the proper barcode rule for that library was not in place. The LT tapes did what I wanted but the ARF ones did not. Bob reminded me that I could delete the tapes now that I had the rule in place. I deleted the tapes and ran it again. The ARF tapes read in using the first 6. Fortunately I hadn't written anything to the physical tape yet so I didn't have to deal with the bplabel or tape headers. Thanks for all the replies.
