When running a custom report to show overwriteable tapes by specifying Filter Criteria of "Overwrite Protected Until = '1/1/1900 12:00:00 AM'" only "Overwriteable (Scratch media)" are shown and not "Overwriteable" media.

Description
Error Message
No error message is displayed, however the report will not list all the correct tapes.
Cause
Although the filter criteria is set to display ALL overwriteable tapes the only tapes listed as "Overwriteable (Scratch media)" are included in the report.
In this example the report would list only MSL020L1 & MSL021L1 and not MSL014L1.
Resolution
Move the "Overwriteable" tapes to the 'Scratch Media' media set, whereupon they will be included in future such reports.
