Cause  The RIC word for an I/O completion on a 3202 controller indicated a runaway tape. This message is for D‑series systems only. The 3202 controller sets this condition when any of the following occur:

  • 25 feet of tape was read and no valid data records were detected.

  • 0.64 inches of tape was written and no data was detected at the read head.

  • A file mark was written, but no data was detected at the read head after 0.64 inches of tape movement.

  • For phase-encoded (PE) tape, the drive is set to high density and the tape mounted has no PE ID burst in track 4.

For PE tape, when writing the PE ID burst from the beginning of tape (BOT), the read head fails to detect the ID burst after 1.28 inches of the burst has been written.

This event could indicate a problem with the application (such as reading beyond the end-of-file mark where no data was written). It could also indicate a problem with the drive or controller.

Effect  The tape operation aborts.

Recovery  Contact your service provider.



322

$dev-name UNUSUAL END, LDEV $ldev, {cpu,chan,%ctlr,%unit | SUBCHANNEL ADDRESS %unit-addr}

Cause  The RIC word for an I/O operation on a 3202 controller indicated an unusual end. The flag is set in the RIC word by the controller if the drive goes offline before an operation involving tape motion has finished. This message is for D‑series systems only.

Effect  The tape operation aborts.

Recovery  Contact your service provider.



323

$dev-name COMMAND REJECT, LDEV $ldev, {cpu,chan,%ctlr,%unit | SUBCHANNEL ADDRESS %unit-addr}

Cause  The RIC word from an I/O operation on a 3202 controller has the command reject flag set. This message is for D‑series systems only.The controller sets this flag if any of the following occur:

  • A command for an illegal address is received.

  • An illegal command is received.

An error occurred on a previous command when command chaining. (The tape process does not use command chaining, so this event should never occur.)

Effect  The tape operation aborts.

Recovery  Contact your service provider.



324

$dev-name OVERRUN ERROR, LDEV $ldev, {cpu,chan,%ctlr,%unit | SUBCHANNEL ADDRESS %unit-addr}

Cause  The RIC word from an I/O operation on a 3202 controller has the overrun flag set. A read, write, or write-file-mark operation that receives this error is retried up to 40 times. The controller sets this flag when the channel fails to respond to a reconnect-in before the controller buffer either empties on a write or overflows on a read. This message is for D‑series systems only.

This event might indicate a problem with the controller or the channel.

Effect  The tape operation aborts.

Recovery  Contact your service provider.



325

$dev-name PARITY ERROR, LDEV $ldev, {cpu,chan,%ctlr,%unit | SUBCHANNEL ADDRESS %unit-addr}

Cause  The RIC word from an I/O operation on a 3202 controller has the data parity error flag set. A read, write, or write-file-mark operation that receives this error is retried up to 40 times. The controller sets this flag when it detects a vertical or longitudinal parity error during a read or during the readback check of a write operation. This message is for D‑series systems only.

This event indicates a problem with the drive or the tape media.

Effect  The operation aborts.

Recovery  Contact your service provider.



326

$dev-name CRC ERROR, LDEV $ldev, {cpu,chan,%ctlr,%unit | SUBCHANNEL ADDRESS %unit-addr}

Cause  The RIC word from an I/O operation on a 3202 controller has the CRC/multi-track error flag set. A read, write, or write-file-mark operation that receives this error is retried up to 40 times. This message is for D‑series systems only. The controller sets this flag when any of the following occur:

  • For nonreturn to zero inverted (NRZI) tape

    • The CRC character read from a tape does not match the CRC character generated from the data read.

    • A bad spot on the tape is sufficient to cause a signal dropout, which is detected during a write operation.

  • For phase-encoded (PE) tape

    • The CRC character generated internally by the controller from the data being written does not match the CRC character generated from the readback data.

    • Errors were detected in two or more tracks during a read operation.

    • An end-of-record was detected before an end-of-data during a read or write operation.

    • The preamble is shorter than 32 bytes or longer than 48 bytes.

    • During a write operation, data was detected earlier than expected by the read head.

No file mark was detected by the read head when writing a file mark.

Effect  The operation aborts.

Recovery  Contact your service provider.

Effect  The message appears as an outstanding request to the TAPECOM MOUNTS command because it requires operator attention. It cannot be accepted or rejected through TAPECOM.

Recovery  Stop the process. The system deletes the message.



612

$tape-device: ERROR 1 - CANNOT PERFORM VOLUME RECOGNITION. ERROR errnum

Cause  An exception occurred while the specified tape device was doing volume recognition. There may also be a density problem.

Effect  The tape is rewound and unloaded.

Recovery  See Appendix B, for corrective action for the file‑system error errnum.

If you are using a 5101, 5103, 5105, or 5107 tape drive, check the drive to make sure that it is set at the density recorded on the tape volume.

If you don’t know the tape volume density, try the other density setting. A tape volume recorded at 6250 bpi causes an error if you mount it on a 5101, 5103, 5105, or 5107 drive.

If you want to use the tape, reinitialize the tape for the device by issuing the command TAPECOM UNLABEL! or TAPECOM LABEL!



613

$tape-device: ERROR 2 - PROTECTION VIOLATION, VOLUME vid NOT EXPIRED

vid

is the volume serial number.

Cause  There was an attempt to open a tape for output or for use as a scratch tape, but the tape’s expiration date is still in effect.

Effect  The mounted volume cannot be used. The tape is rewound and unloaded. If the volume was specifically requested by a user in the DEFINE field, the open request is rejected.

Recovery  If want to use the tape, run TAPECOM SCRATCH to make the volume a scratch tape; then repeat the operation that caused the error.



614

$tape-device: ERROR 3 - WRONG TAPE, vid1 MOUNTED, SHOULD BE vid2

vid

is the volume serial number.

Cause  A specific tape device was expecting a continuation volume.

Effect  The mounted volume cannot be used. The tape is rewound and unloaded. The previous mount message is displayed again. All outstanding requests are still pending.

Recovery  Either mount the correct volume, or if the volume requested by the program is not available, abort the operation by rejecting the mount request.



615

$tape-device: ERROR 4 - WRONG TAPE, NOT LABELED, SHOULD BE vid

vid

is the volume serial number.

Cause  The tape device was expecting a continuation volume, but an unlabeled tape was mounted.

Effect  The tape is unloaded and the previous mount message is redisplayed.

Recovery  Mount the correct volume, then continue.



616

$tape-device: ERROR 5 - WRONG TAPE, vid MOUNTED, USE UNLABELED TAPE

Cause  A standard-labeled tape was mounted after the user program had opened the tape process without standard-label processing.

Effect  The request is rejected with a TAPE NOT READY error. The standard-labeled tape is unloaded and rewound.

Recovery  The application program should handle the TAPE NOT READY error and put out messages as if tape label processing did not exist. Do not use a labeled tape.



617

$tape-device: ERROR 6 - VOLUME vid IS ANSI TAPE, NOT IBM TAPE AS REQUIRED

vid

is the volume serial number.

Cause  The correct volume tape was mounted, but the tape label is different from that specified in the DEFINE attribute LABELS. The attribute was IBM and the tape was ANSI.

Effect  The tape is rewound and unloaded, and the application is suspended until the correct tape is mounted.

Recovery  If you want to mount an ANSI tape, abend the application by rejecting the mount request for an IBM tape. Then change the DEFINE attribute to indicate an ANSI tape. Finally, retry the operation.

If you want to use an IBM tape, mount an IBM tape.

If the operation was supposed to start output to scratch tape and volume is a scratch tape, either use the TAPECOM RELABELIBM command to change the tape to IBM format, or use the TAPECOM LABELIBM command to make the tape an IBM tape.



618

$tape-device: ERROR 7 - VOLUME vid IS IBM TAPE, NOT ANSI TAPE AS REQUIRED

vid

is the volume serial number.

Cause  A specific tape device expected a continuation volume; however, the correct volume serial-number tape was mounted with an IBM-label type, but the DEFINE attribute LABELS was specified as ANSI.

Effect  The tape is rewound and unloaded. The application is suspended until the correct tape is mounted.

Recovery  If you want to mount an IBM tape, abend the application by rejecting the mount request for an ANSI tape. Then change the DEFINE attribute to indicate an IBM tape. Finally, retry the operation.

If you want to use an ANSI tape, mount an ANSI tape.

If the operation was supposed to start output to scratch tape and volume is a scratch tape, either use the TAPECOM RELABEL command to change the tape to ANSI format, or use the TAPECOM LABEL command to make the tape an ANSI tape.



619

$tape-device: ERROR 8 - VOLUME vid IS WRITE PROTECTED

vid

is the volume serial number.

Cause  An error occurred during CLOSE processing that prevented trailer labels from being correctly written to tape.

Effect  CLOSE does not return an error, and the application that used the labeled tape continues. The fact that the file does not have a valid trailer label may or may not present a problem in the future.

Recovery  Rerun the application if trailer labels are relevant.



627

$tape-device: ERROR 16 - DEVICE ERROR, STOP [\system.]cpu.pin BEFORE ANY TAPE MOUNT

Cause  An error occurred that must be cleared before another tape can be mounted. The tape process unloads the tape and returns file-system error 100 to requests from application process cpu.pin.

An operator may have rejected the mount request, or there may have been a hardware failure.

Effect  The tape process does not accept additional tapes or any request except CLOSE.

The application process cpu.pin may or may not stop itself after receiving the error.

Recovery  Stop the application process if it has not already stopped. Restart the application if desired.
