Is there a way to determine how full a tape is?

I would like to know if our nightly backups are about to go over to a second tape, but I do not see an option on DSPTAP or DMPTAP or anything else I can find to determine this.

We do the equivalent of a Go Save 21 (minus a few libraries) every night.

We do not have BMRS.

Thanks,
Lance
