I ran this code to test COPYCAT TAPECOPy but it fails...

The first file on tape 400001 is LCD.VSYM478.B107160D 400001
and I think this IGD messge is to do with that

Can anyone provide any suggestions Please.

Contact your site support group for assistance. The return code 12 for CBRXVOL says

12
Environmental error
Internal processing error. The request could not be completed due to the failure of a system service.

so either you are attempting to use a facility not available to you, or there is some other site-specific problem. In any case, only your site support group can help you with this error.

Lookslike the volume is under the control of an automated library. Check if the tape is in PRIVATE status and not scratch or ejected. Try this TSO command:

The dataset which is on the volume is cataloged in 3.4

The command LISTCAT does not work...May be because we dont have IBM BOXEs here for tape...

SCRPOOL NAME(SCRVIRT),RANGE(400000-449999),LABEL(SL)

This is what the scratch pool definitions are for the pool...It is a virtual tape ..

Also one more thing this tape is multivol(2) and multifile ....

As the tape is VIRTUAL it should not be out(unless the backend tape is out)

Hello,

Have you successfully used this jcl to copy any other virtual tape? If yes, posting the generated informational output may help. . .

No this product is new to the client ...

Hello,

Suggest someone review the COPYCAT material. . . I don't have this available at a current client.

I recall migrating "real" tape to v-tape, but don't recall using a v-tape volume as input. . . But has been quite a few years. . .

Which "virtual tape" product is being used?

Hi Dick,

ok This time I moved a 9840(3590) tape to another and it got the same error.....

Hello,

Suggest you open a contact with CA support.

While I was trying to contact the CA folks and finding out the details they needed someone suggested me to put a REGION=4096K and the both the jobs ended fine.

How can I be so dumb.
