Reason:
When the CA 1 system option TCHG is set to "NO", CA 1 rejects a 3490, 3590, or 3592 scratch tape mounted for output, if its recording technique differs from the requested recording mode. For example, if a 3590 volume in scratch status, which was previously created with 256 tracks, is mounted on a 3590-H device for reuse with 384 tracks, CA1 does not allow the tape to be opened for output with a different recording technique. 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 change of the recording technique, will be rejected for output and dismounted, and another mount request will be issued, until a tape with matching recording technique 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 TCHG is currently set to "NO". This option 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 the CA 1 Tape Management system.
