mtlib output question

Hey Fellow AIXer's and TSMer's,

      The following is the output of the "mtlib -l/dev/lmcp0 -qI" command
(output truncated). Now as you know the "mtlib" command is a command which
uses the "atldd" AIX device driver to communicate with the IBM3494's
database telling you which tapes are physically in the library. Now I
understand the first field of this output is obviously the volser number of
the tape and the second field is the category. I'm confused as to what the
last three fields mean: "00", "10", "01". Any assistance as too what these
fields indicate about a particular volume would be appreciated. Thanks!.
