[AUTOSWITCH STATUS UNAVAILABLE - textl]

[DISPLAY TRUNCATED - INSUFFICIENT STORAGE]

This message appears in response to a DISPLAY U,,AUTOSWITCH command and displays the status of all automatically switchable devices or describes why it was unable to provide the status. See Displaying Information About Automatically Switchable DevicesDisplaying Information About Automatically Switchable Devices in z/OS MVS System Commands for more information.

In the message text:
UNIT
The device number of an automatically switchable device.
TYPE
The type of magnetic tape unit, as defined through HCD (for example, 3480). Devices appear as specified through HCD. The following device types appear in the TYPE field:
type
Device type, such as ‘3480’
xxxS
where xxx represents the first three digits of device type (for example, ‘348’ for a 3480 or ‘349’ for a 3490) and ‘S’ means the device has a cartridge stack loader.
xxxL
where xxx represents the first three digits of a device type (for example, ‘348’ for a 3480 or ‘349’ for a 3490) and ‘L’ means the device is a library device.
UND
where the device is not known.
Note: If a device is both a library device and has a cartridge stack loader, the L designation takes precedence over the S designation.
STATUS
The status of the device:
A
Allocated
CA
Cartridge stack loader is active
OFFLINE
Offline
RAL
Restricted to allocation
SYS
Allocated to system
SYSTEM
The system to which the device is assigned. The system name is one of the following:
  • The name of the system, as specified on the SYSNAME parameter of the IEASYSxx parmlib member.
  • *UNKNOWN when the device is allocated but the DISPLAY command processor cannot identify the system. In this case, the automatically switchable device is assigned to a system that is not connected to the same IEFAUTOS structure, or is connected to the same structure but is using the device as a dedicated device.
JOBNAME
The job to which the device is allocated. The job name is one of the following:
  • The name of the job
  • The name of the address space
  • The name of the task created by the START or MOUNT command
  • *MASTER* when the device is allocated to the master address space
  • *SYSTEM when the device is allocated to the system control program
  • *UNKNOWN when the device is allocated but the DISPLAY command processor cannot identify the job.
ASID
The address space identifier (ASID) of the address space to which the device is allocated.
VOLSER
The volume serial number of the device
VOLSTATE
How the device is to be used, either for private (PRIV) or public (PUB) use and whether it is reserved (RESRV) or removable (REMOV).
tsysname
The name of the requested system.
sysname
The name of a system that has this autoswitchable device defined.
sunt
If different from the requested system, the device number as defined on system, sysname.
styp
If different from the requested system, the type of magnetic tape unit as defined on system, sysname.

If a range of devices was specified on the DISPLAY AUTOSWITCH command and some of those devices are not automatically switchable, they are not displayed. The additional information in the form of sysname (sunt,styp) shows devices defined to other systems than this one, and provides similar information to OEM tape sharing software.

If none of the devices specified on the DISPLAY AUTOSWITCH command are automatically switchable, message IEE455I appears to indicate this condition.
idr
An identifier used with the CONTROL C,D command to cancel status displays:
  • Written on printer consoles
  • Displayed inline (that is, not in a display area) on a display console

This identifier does not appear when the display appears in a display area on a display console.

In the message text:
text1
is one of the following:
[SYSTEM ERROR]
A system error occurred.
[DISPLAY TRUNCATED - INSUFFICIENT STORAGE]
The system was unable to obtain sufficient storage for a display line to complete the command.

System action

The system continues processing.
