Our backup routine runs automatically in an evening using the STORE
command. However, if there is no tape in the drive, it will wait until
there is a tape. The backup process is within a dayend routine and unless
the backup completes, the application cannot be started the next morning.
Ideally, I would like to check if there is a tape in the DAT drive before
the rest of the dayend process runs.

Anyone any idea how I you can check if there is a tape in the drive?

Many thanks,
