A QUERY command was issued with the SETSYS parameter. DFSMShsm issues this message to describe its current environment.

The current tape density for either backup scratch tapes or recycle scratch tapes, or both, is density.

For 3420 tape drives, the default density can be 2, 3, or 4.

For 3480 tape drives that simulate 3420 tape drives, the default density is 4.

For 3480 tape drives that use all the functions of the 3480 Magnetic Tape Subsystem, the default is an *. The default tape unit for scratch tapes is unit. The default recycle percentage is percent. When the percent of valid data remaining on a tape backup volume is less than or equal to the specified percentage, message ARC0365I is issued stating that the tape volume is eligible for recycle. The elapsed time during which DFSMShsm will wait for the correct tape to be mounted before issuing message ARC0310A is min minutes.
