IEC114E
D dev[,ddname-n]

Explanation

D indicates that the volume on a device is to be demounted. The control program has determined that this volume, mounted in response to an earlier mount message, either:
  • Contains labels that cannot be read due to a permanent input/output error.
  • Contains no labels or nonstandard labels when standard labels were specified.
  • Contains standard labels when no labels or nonstandard labels were specified.
  • Contains labels that are written in a density other than the density specified.

If the DDNAME is supplied in the message text, the tape volume to be demounted was recorded in ASCII.

In the message text:
dev
The device number of the specified device.
ddname
The DD name.
n
The reason for the demount.

The reasons for the demounting follow:

if n equals
1
The accessibility field of the volume label contains a nonblank character which means that the volume is data set password protected and may not be processed by the operating system.
2
The accessibility field of the file header label contains a nonblank character other than one, which means that the file may not be processed by the operating system.
3
The system cannot process the volume which is recorded in ASCII, because the ASCII option was not specified at system generation.
4
The control program has determined that conflicting data control block attributes have been used to define the data set on the volume. Some of the conflicting attributes may be the following:
  • BUFOFF greater than 99.
  • BUFOFF not equal to L on OUTPUT, OUTIN, OUTINX, or EXTEND.
  • BUFOFF equal to L where RECFM is not equal to D.
  • OPTCD not equal to Q where LABEL equals AL or AUL.
  • OPTCD equal to Q where DSORG is not equal to PS.
  • OPTCD not equal to Q where RECFM equals D.
  • OPTCD equal to Q where RECFM equals V.
  • LABEL equal to AL or AUL for a seven track tape device.

System action

The data set is not opened and processing continues.

Operator response

Demount the volume. The system will then request that a new volume be mounted. Mount a volume with the correct density and label type.

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 associated volume, and the SYSOUT output for the job.

Programmer response

Probable user error. Respond as indicated for the following values of n:
1
Make sure that the correct volume was specified in the job control statements.
2
Make sure that the correct file and volume are being used.
3
The ASCII option was not specified at system generation, so bit 6 in the CVTOPTA field of the communications vector table is 0.
4
Make sure that the data control block attributes do not conflict.
