A SAVSYS is not a Save entire system.  It does not include most libraries
(SAVLIB), directories(SAV), folders (SAVDLO) among other things.  In fact a
SAVSYS on our machine takes 4 minutes.

Is there a way to tell, programmatically, how much tape is left after the
last
saved object on the tape?

Specifically, I would like to know if I've got room left to save more than
what we're currently saving to tape.

Currently, we are saving only a specified list of user libraries and are
not
using SAVDLO or SAV because, I'm told, we're not really using anything
there
that we can't afford to lose.  I'm unsure as to the wisdom of that
statement.
We _do_ (supposedly) have a current SAVSYS for each of our boxes; our
nightly
backup includes a SAVSECDTA and RTVCFGSRC.
