Thomas, If you read along the line of SENSE data you will see FE.OA.31.18 .xx.xx.xx.
The FE is the FID (FRU identification number) 3118 is the first fault sympton code see the 3590 Maintenance manual ( SA37-0301-04 ). IBM Hardware support informed us that codes such as FE 3118 FE 3117 FE 301C FE 3542 FE 3A5B were errors writing the servo-track along the tape. You will need a new tape - send this one back under it's warranty. We experienced this mainly with the early use of 256 track 3590-E1A drives ( along with early microcode ). We still see this occasionally.
