RE: Tape volume usage

[Colin Williams <colin.williams@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A DSPTAP *LABELS will tell you how much data was written to the tape,
then just calculate it from there.

Rob,

    I remember on the CISC machines, you could go into SST for some tape
statistics, and it would keep how much data was written to each 
volume.  THen if
you knew the size of the tape volume, you knew approximately 
how much was used.
It was pretty accurate.  I just tried looking for this on a 
RISC box and I cant
find it in SST.

    Perhaps this may act as a clue for someone else, where did the tape
statistics go?
