Explanation

Note: For Automated Tape Library dataservers (including Virtual Tape Servers), message IEC502E is not issued to any operator console. It is only issued to the System Log.
The volume on the device is to have the indicated disposition. The disposition (n) is one of the following:
K -
Implies PRIVATE volume; the volume is to be demounted and returned to the library.
D -
Implies PUBLIC volume; the volume is to be demounted and used as a scratch volume when the job ends.
RK-
Implies PRIVATE-RETAIN volume; the volume is to be demounted and retained near the system for future use. In the event that the job ends and the volume has not been remounted, return it to the library.
RD-
Implies PUBLIC-RETAIN volume; the volume is to be demounted and retained near the system for future use. In the event that the job ends and the volume has not been remounted, it may be used as a scratch volume.
R -
Implies RETAIN® volume; the volume is to be demounted and retained near the system for future use. In the event that the job ends and the volume has not been remounted, the operator must determine what disposition to give to the volume. This message will appear if a volume is rejected because it is not the volume requested (for example, a conflict in the label, label type, or density).

If the serial number is blank, O/C/EOV look ahead mount has found a premounted and unverified (UCBVOLI=ZEROS) volume on the next available unit. Operator intervention is required to verify that the proper volume is mounted.

If the serial number is a 6-digit serial number, the volume with that serial number is to be demounted from the device.

If the serial number begins with L, the volume to be demounted is unlabeled; the number after the first character is an internal serial number assigned by the system to an unlabeled volume. The internal serial number is of the form Laaabb where aaa is the data set number (0-999) and bb is the volume sequence number (0-99). The numbers are recycled after they reach the limit.

In the message text, labtyp indicates the label type of the demounted volume (either SL, AL, NL, or NSL) and will appear for tape volumes only).

The reason for demounting is as follows:
c
Reason for Demounting
1

For ISO/ANSI Version 1: The accessibility field of the volume label contains a nonblank character, which means the volume is data set password protected and may not be processed by the operating system.

For ISO/ANSI Version 3 or Version 4: The accessibility code in the volume label is not acceptable for further processing because of one of the following:

  1. It is not a blank.
  2. It is not an *uppercase A through Z.
  3. It was rejected by the volume access exit *(for A through Z).
Note: *For Version 4, the allowable characters are: Uppercase A-Z, number 0-9, and special characters ! * " % & ' ( ) + , - . / : ; < = > ? _
2

For ISO/ANSI Version 1:The accessibility field of the volume label contains a nonblank character other than the character 1, which means the file may not be processed by the operating system.

For ISO/ANSI Version 3 or Version 4: The accessibility code in the first data set label (for example, HDR1) is:

  • A character that is not acceptable for further processing because:
    • It is not a blank, not an *uppercase A through Z, or not an MVS-recognized numeric, that is, a 1 or 3 with system code IBMZLA.
    • It was rejected by the file access exit *(for A through Z).
    • It was accepted, but the ACCODE value *(A through Z) was rejected by the file access exit.
    • Blank, but the ACCODE value for an output data set was rejected by the file access exit.
Note: *For Version 4, the allowable characters are: Uppercase A-Z, number 0-9, and special characters ! * " % & ' ( ) + , - . / : ; < = > ? _
3
The system cannot process the volume which is recorded in ASCII. The system has been modified when the CVTASCII bit was set to zero.
4
The control program has determined that conflicting data control block (DCB) attributes have been used to define the data set on the volume. Some of the conflicting attributes are:
  • BUFOFF greater than 99.
  • BUFOFF equal to L on OUTPUT or OUTIN.
  • BUFOFF equal to L and RECFM not equal to D.
  • OPTCD not equal to Q and LABEL equal to AL or LABEL equal to AUL.
  • OPTCD not equal to Q and RECFM equal to D.
  • OPTCD equal to Q and DSORG not equal to PS.
  • OPTCD equal to Q and RECFM equal to V.
  • LABEL equal to AL or AUL specified for a 7-track tape device.
5
This message follows IEC512I when the system detects violation of a label standard and the installation label validation exit issues a return code indicating the volume should be rejected. An abnormal end follows.
6
The volume contains an ISO/ANSI volume label that is not supported. To be processed as an ISO/ANSI volume, the volume label must contain a 1, 3, or 4 to specify Version 1, Version 3, or Version 4 in character position 80. An output request to a data set other than the first data set of an ISO/ANSI Version 1 tape is not supported.
7
The volume was rejected by the operator in response to a WTOR.
8
A volume label conflict was detected during manual-mode processing in an IBM® 3495 Tape Library Dataserver. A subsequent mount will be issued to allow verification of the tape volume.
9
The volume serial number of the mounted or operator supplied volume serial to be used in labeling a scratch volume in an MTLDS is not defined in the tape configuration database. The volume is dismounted and a mount message reissued.
10
The volume serial number of the mounted or operator supplied volume serial to be used in labeling a scratch volume in an MTLDS is defined in the tape configuration database but does not reside in this MTLDS. The volume is rejected and another mount request is issued.
11
The volume serial number of the mounted or operator supplied volume serial to be used in labeling a scratch volume in an MTLDS is defined as a private volume in the tape configuration database.
12
NL specific volume serial was requested for input, but the volume is a labeled volume (either ISO/ANSI or IBM) and the ATL is in manual mode. Verify that the correct volume is mounted.
13
The volume serial number of the mounted volume is already enqueued. Verify that the volume mounted matches the volume requested.
14
The mounted 3590 cartridge is either an unsupported media type or medium length.

If the tape mounted was for a non-specific mount request, SCRATCH, demount the cartridge and select another. Verify that the correct volume is mounted for a specific mount request, private. If it was the correct volume the mount request may have to cancelled.

15
The mounted 3590 cartridge is unformatted and it must be formatted prior to its use. The mounted volume will be demounted and a subsequent mount reissued.

If the tape mounted was for a non-specific mount request, SCRATCH, demount the cartridge and select another. Verify that the mounted volume is the correct for a specific mount request, private. If it was the correct volume the mount request may have to cancelled.

60
A private labeled (SL or AL) IBM 3494 (ATL) volume is mounted for input processing and the request was for a NL volume while the ATL is in automatic mode.

In the message text, jjj indicates the job demounting the volume and sss indicates the job step demounting the volume.

Start of changeIf a MONITOR DSNAME command is active, dsname indicates the data set requesting the volume. However, dsname will be omitted if it has not been verified, such as when:
  • The volume has not been verified.
  • The dismount is from OPEN.
  • A WORM (write one, read many) write violation occurs.
  • A MONITOR DSNAME command is not active.
End of change
If a MONITOR SPACE command is active and the device is a direct access device, the SPACE parameter will appear:
cccc
Total number of free cylinders on the volume.
tttt
Total number of tracks in addition to free cylinders.
aaaa
Total number of free extents.
ccc,tttt
Largest contiguous free area in cylinders and tracks.
ddname
Specifies the DDNAME of the JCL requesting the volume.
c
Specifies the reason for demounting.
If the error occurred during the listing of the parameters in the SPACE field, one of the following messages is specified:
  • LSPACE-PERMANENT I/O ERROR
  • LSPACE-NON-STANDARD OS VOLUME
  • LSPACE-NOT A DIRECT ACCESS VOL
  • LSPACE-INVALID PARAMETER

System action

The volume is unloaded if the device is a tape drive. If the device is a direct access unit, I/O to the device is inhibited.

Operator response

Demount the volume and mark the serial number and label type on the volume and perform the indicated disposition. If LSPACE-PERMANENT I/O ERROR appears in the message text, a permanent I/O error was encountered while trying to read the VTOC. Run the IEHLIST utility program to list the VTOC of the volume specified by ser or dev.

System programmer response

If the error recurs and the program is not in error, look at the messages in the job log for more information. Search problem reporting data bases for a fix for the problem. If no fix exists, contact the IBM Support Center. Provide the JCL, the SYSOUT output, the program listing for the job, and all printed output and output data sets related to the problem.

Programmer response

If ddn-c appears in the message text, the volume was probably demounted due to a programming error or operator error. Respond as follows, if:
c=1
Insure that the indicated JCL statement indicated the correct volume.
c=2
Make sure that the correct file and volume are being mounted.
c=3
Determine how the CVT was modified and correct the error.
c=4
Insure that the data control block attributes do not conflict.
