A indicates that the tape volume on the unit bears a label that is incompatible with the label type specified in the LABEL parameter of the JCL. Permission is being requested to destroy the present label by overwriting it with a Tape Mark. A new label, if required, may be written during further processing.
If a MONITOR DSNAME command is active, dsname indicates the data set requesting the volume.
SCRTCH or PRIVAT indicate non-specific volume requests. SCRTCH is used when the dataset being created on the non-specific volume is temporary [DISP=(NEW,DELETE) or DSN=&&tempname]. PRIVAT is used for all other cases of non-specific volumes.
The job step waits for the operator to reply U or M, or until the task reaches time-out.
If the volume specified by ser was mounted in response to a request for SCRTCH or PRIVAT, determine if the volume mounted was in fact a scratch volume. If so, determine if it is desirable to destroy the label on the volume and create a new label that is compatible with the programmer's request. Enter REPLY xx,‘U’ to allow the program to destroy the current label on the volume. Enter REPLY xx,‘M’ to allow the program to reject the currently mounted volume and mount a new volume.
TRACE=SYS,USR,SLIPDCB=DIAGNS=TRACEIf 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.
