TMSH0131E

Your CA 1 real time processing options disallow dynamic density change. Any attempt to change the density orion mode of a scratch tape when opening it for output will fail.

Reason:

When the CA 1 system option DCHG is set to "NO", CA 1 rejects a scratch tape mounted for output, if its density orion mode differs from the requested mode. For example, if a reel tape previously created with 1600 BPI is mounted to satisfy a request for 6250 BPI, CA 1 does not allow the system to create the tape with 6250 BPI. Or, when a scratch cartridge without IDRCion is mounted to satisfy a request fored output, it is dismounted by CA 1. The volume is rejected with message: IECTMS3O or IECTMS3E "dddd,vvvvvv IS NOT SCRTCH (88)".

Action:

This message is issued by the CA 1 Health Check component, which provides extensive detail on the problem encountered and the suggested response. The following actions and responses are documented for this check:

System Action: Any scratch tape, which requires dynamic density change, will be rejected for output and dismounted, and another mount request will be issued, until a tape with matching density orion mode is found. Tape jobs may be delayed by unnecessary mounts and dismounts, or may even fail if the request cannot be satisfied. Rejected volumes in an Automated Tape Library may be put in error status and require manual intervention.

Operator Response: Notify the systems programmer of this potential problem.

System Programmer Response: The CA 1 system option DCHG is currently set to "NO". This should be changed to "YES" to allow dynamic label editing.

Problem Determination: You can use the CA 1 ISPF panels to display the current values of all your CA 1 options along with other information about CA 1 Tape Management system.
