If you just want to issue some command against each bunch of 15 tapes seperated by : characters, try this:
Code:
TAPE="/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/lto-fullt.mail"   # Taken from your script above
tapes=0
for $thistape in `awk '{ print $1 }' < $TAPE`   # Again from your script above
do
  if [ $tapes -eq 0 ]
  then
    tapelist=$thistape
  else
    tapelist="${tapelist}:${thistape}"
  fi
  if [ $tapes -ge 15 ]
  then
    your eject command on $tapelist
    tapes=0
  fi
done

Not tested of course.
i may have forgotten to delete those extra ones in there, but yes this is the full script.

i have not test it out. i've been working on the other part to get the ":" added to my full_tapes file.

i was also going to ask, would using sort or asort work to separate the tapes into groups of 15?
