ARC0970I
TAPE ALLOCATION REQUEST DENIED BY ARCTEEXT EXIT FOR ALLOCATION BEGINNING WITH TAPE volser1

Explanation

Installation-wide exit ARCTEEXT has returned a return code 8, which indicates that tape allocation should not be attempted. volser1 is the first or only volume in the DFSMShsm tape volume set.

System action

The command fails. DFSMShsm processing continues.

Programmer response

Determine why the ARCTEEXT installation-wide exit indicates that the allocation should not be attempted. If that action is not what the installation desires, modify and replace the ARCTEEXT installation-wide exit and reissue the command.
