ACSLS with SL8500 question

We are implementing a Storagetek SL8500 with ACSLS 7.3 in our new environment. Currently we use For-do commands in our scripts to get Volume Tags to withdraw tapes but seems like ACSLS sees each nsrjb as a seperate task and only moves one volume at a time and unlocks the CAP so in other word if I have to withdraw 10 tapes, it will export 1 tapes at a time, unlock CAP and wait for user to withdraw one tape then goes to next nsrjb command.

Any ideas...

This is what we use to withdraw multiple tapes in the same environment. Hope this helps:

sudo stk_eject acsls01 0,1,0 nowait `cat tempfile`

It's possible to withdraw all the tapes on one time.
I have choosed to do this on 2 steps launched on acsls

1) /export/home/ACSSS/utils/ejecting.sh 0,1,1 /softs/acsls/data/eject_nw > eject.dat -- the eject_nw file contains the tape names

2) /export/home/ACSSS/bin/cmd_proc -ql < ejectdat

In fact, it's possible to handle the whole process of withdraw-eject and enter tapes by script.
