Error description

  • When reading from a Tape volume using fread() following a
    reposition you may encounter a failing return code from fread()
    accompanied with this errno/errno2:
    
    EDC5066I A read system error was detected. (errno2=0xC0380005)
    
    
    Verification Steps:
    1) Verify target dataset resides on a tape volume.
    2) Verify I/O is multi-bufferred.
    3) Determine if a reposition has been performed and a read
    operation is failing.
    4) If a dump is available, you should may also find a synad
    entry in the systrace.
    

Local fix

  • Run with a single buffer to circumvent this problem.
