This looks correct. You JCL runs TMSCOPY to backup the TMC and audit files. If the audit file gets down to 3 records, your tape processing would stop until you ran TMSCOPY.
The message may be due to a much larger tape activity on a one time bases, in which case you likely need look no further. But if it is from normal growth, then you will start seeing the message more often, in which case you will either need to run TMSCOPY more frequently, or expand your audit file. Thank you and have a Terrific day!
