Processing continues. The system may demount the volume and issue another mount, or an abend may be detected depending on prevailing job characteristics.

System programmer response

Validate error category as expected and determine if error category describes a media problem or library subsystem error. System command D SMS,VOLUME(volser) will provide additional volume status. Resetting the scratch error status reactivates the volume's scratch pool status. Changing the volume use attribute from scratch to scratch will reset the scratch error status. See section "TCDB Volume Error Status and Software Error Category" in z/OS DFSMS OAM Planning, Installation, and Storage Administration Guide for Tape Libraries.

Programmer response

Report software error category to library subsystem administrator.
