IEC003E
R dev,ser,jjj,sss [, SPACE=prm] [,dsname]

Explanation

R indicates that the volume on device dev is to be demounted and retained near the computer for use in the near future:
  • If the volume serial number is a 6-digit number, it is the serial number of the volume, which contains labels.
  • If the volume serial begins with a slash or L, the volume to be demounted is unlabeled; the number after the slash or L is an internal serial number assigned by the system to an unlabeled volume. If the volume serial begins with L, the number after the L is of the form xxxyy, where xxx is the data set number and yy is the volume sequence number of the data set.

In the message text, labtype and den appear only for tape volumes. The volume has the type of label specified by labtype: SL for standard label, AL for ISO/ANSI label, NSL for nonstandard label, or NL for no label; the density is as specified by den.

For direct access volumes, if a MONITOR SPACE command is active, the field.

SPACE=cccc,tttt,aaaa/yyyy, zzzz is specified:
cccc
Total number of free cylinders on the volume.
tttt
Total number of tracks in addition to the free cylinders.
aaaa
Areas or extents dividing the cylinders and tracks.
yyyy
Maximum number of contiguous free cylinders of the largest extent within the total remaining space.
zzzz
Number of tracks in addition to the free cylinders of the largest extent within the total remaining space.
If an 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

If a MONITOR DSNAME command is active, data set dsname contained on the volume is also specified in the message text.

In the message text:
dev
The device number of the specified device.
ser
The volume serial number.
jjj
The specified job name.
sss
The specified step.
prm
The specified parameter.
dsname
If a MONITOR DSNAME command is active, the data set requesting the volume.

System action

For tape, the system rewinds and unloads the tape volume.

Operator response

Demount the volume. Mark the serial number, label type, and density on the volume, if they are not so marked. (The internally assigned number should appear externally on the volume in case a subsequent step needs the volume; for the subsequent mounting, the system will specify the volume by the internally assigned number.) Then retain the volume near the computer. If LSPACE-PERMANENT I/O ERROR was in the message, a permanent I/O error was encountered while trying to read the VTOC. Execute the IEHLIST utility program to list the VTOC of this volume. If errors occur, take appropriate action as indicated in the message. If LSPACE-NOT A DIRECT ACCESS VOL or LSPACE-INVALID PARAMETER was in the message, perform the problem determination action.

System programmer response

If the error recurs and the program is not in error, search problem reporting data bases for a fix for the problem. If no fix exists, contact the IBM® Support Center.
