ARC1269I
ERROR ON SYNCDEV DURING MIGRATION

Explanation

During migration of a data set to a 3480 single-file format tape volume, DFSMShsm has issued a SYNCDEV macro to flush the tape buffer and write the data to the tape. The SYNCDEV macro has failed. The data set targeted for migration has been named either in the preceding ARC1001I message, or in the associated ARC0734I message, containing the return code 69. The ARC1001I or ARC0734I reason codes are as follows:
Reascode
Meaning
4
An invalid device (not a buffered tape) has been targeted for migration, or invalid input parameters have been specified.
8
A permanent I/O error has occurred during the RDBLKID or SYNCHRONIZE command.
12
A permanent I/O error has been indicated for an earlier channel program.

System action

Migration of the data set fails. The 3480 tape volume used for output is marked full to prevent its further use. Another tape volume is selected for the migration process. DFSMShsm processing continues.

Programmer response

For more information about the SYNCDEV macro and its return codes see z/OS DFSMS Using Data Sets or z/OS DFSMS Macro Instructions for Data Sets.
