VOLUME volser FULL={YES | NO}, PERCENT VALID=pct, VOLUME TYPE={ML2 | SPILL | DAILY(day) | UNASSIGNED}, FAILED RECYCLE= {YES | NO}, DISASTER ALTERNATE={YES | NO}, FAILED CREATION={YES | NO}

Explanation

During the processing of a recycle request for a specific volume, the information requested is displayed. If a volume belongs to a connected set, there will be an ARC0838I message for each volume in the set.
  • FULL=NO indicates that the tape is not yet marked full and may receive more data.
  • pct is the percentage of valid blocks of data on the tape volume.
  • DAILY, SPILL, ML2, or UNASSIGNED is the DFSMShsm volume category of volser.
  • day is the day in the backup cycle to which the volume belongs if it is a daily backup volume.
  • FAILED RECYCLE=YES indicates that this volume has failed a previous recycle attempt.
  • DISASTER ALTERNATE=YES indicates that the tape has a disaster alternate copy.
  • FAILED CREATION=YES indicates a mismatch between the number of data sets on the volume as recorded in the OCDS TTOC record and the actual number of data sets residing on the volumes.

System action

This message is the normal result of a RECYCLE DISPLAY request. However, if the EXECUTE parameter was specified, DFSMShsm has determined that the tape is ineligible for processing. See ARC0445I message that follows.

Programmer response

For more information about the volume volser, issue a LIST or HLIST command with the TTOC parameter and specify the volume.

When FAILED CREATION=YES, the extended AUDIT MEDIACONTROLS command should be used to resolve the missing TTOC data set entries for the tape volume volser. If a data check or an invalid file block identifier is encountered by AUDIT MEDIACONTROLS, the RECYCLE command can be issued with the FORCE parameter. Recycle processing will invalidate data sets that encounter a data check or invalid file block identifier. For information about extended AUDIT MEDIACONTROLS, RECYCLE FORCE and the z/OS DFSMShsm Storage Administration for the, see
