The subject tape has been in continuous use doing recalls, and the time has exceeded a SETSYS TAPERECALLLIMITS specification. If h is the ID of a different host than the one having the tape mounted, then a recall request exists on that host that has a higher priority than the recall request that this host was about to start.

If volser is the ID of the host issuing the message, then a recall request for a different tape exists on this host. The recall request is a higher priority and is being delayed because DFSMShsm is running at the maximum number of permitted tape recall tasks than the one that this host was about to start.
