OVER 50 UNCATALOGS FOR GDG data.set.name

Reason:

An alteration of a tape GDG caused more than 50 generations of the GDG to be uncataloged. The catalog interface of CA 1 is limited to handle 50 uncatalog operations at a time for performance reasons. Only the 50 oldest versions being uncataloged will get the OSC flag bit turned off automatically in the TMC.

Action:

If the data sets are retained by CATALOG control and system option OCTLG is set to NO, a manual TMC update of the remaining versions is required to get the tapes expired and scratched. If necessary, use TMSOSCAT with options NODE and ISCAT to determine the orphaned records. Also, a TMSAUDIT report can be created for this purpose. An Audit exception record type EX-CLJ is written for the last GDG version which was processed. Execute TMSUPDTE or TMSUDSNB respectively to turn the OSC bits off for all newer versions which are no longer cataloged.
