APAR Error Description / Circumvention

-------------------------------------------------
When a tape management exit program does an add tape cartridge
function from within the exit, the category name and system name
are swapped internally. This causes the category name to be
incorrect for the subsequent exits.

If the volume identifier can not be read the volume identifier
in the start of volume exit for initialization is binary zeroes
instead of blanks.

Program QTATAPEX can loop on a MSGMCH3402 if the exit program
registered to the QIBM_QTA_TAPE_TMS exit point is an ILE program
and the activation group it uses has been destroyed.

CORRECTION FOR APAR 'SE55291' :
-------------------------------
The code has been changed to correctly set the category and
system names.

A check has been added and if the volume identifier can not be
read it will be set to blanks.

The code has been changed to prevent the loop on MSGMCH3402 if
the activation group has been destroyed.

CIRCUMVENTION FOR APAR 'SE55291' :
----------------------------------
None.


Activation Instructions


None.
