I/O ERR indicates that an I/O error occurred writing the labels specified, on a tape volume specified on the unit. REPLY ‘U’-ABEND OR ‘M’-MOUNT SCRATCH
The job step waits for the operator to reply U or M or until the task reaches time-out.
The operator must determine if a new volume may be substituted for the one specified by ser in the message. If so, REPLY xx,‘M’ to dismount the tape and issue a mount message for a new volume to be labeled the same as the first. If a new volume may not be substituted or if private tapes were supplied to run the job REPLY xx‘U’ to ABEND the job with a message indicating that an I/O ERROR occurred. Note: A reply of M will result in creating two tapes with the same volume serial number.
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.
