Hello Glenn, I am pretty sure that we had this exact problem. I recently installed CA-VTAPE R11 SP1 and as part of that project, upgraded to CA-1 R11 (plus APAR tape dated 8/16/05). We IPLed Sept 4 to bring in the new CA1. Everything was fine until late in the month, around the 28th or 29th, when a weekly SMF mod job and another weekly CMF mod job abended with the errors you list below.
I have a hardcopy of one of the jobs that MOD'ed the tape generation. One strange thing is, in the JES2 message log we received: IEC705I TAPE ON 0587,101148,SL... (normal) IECTMS9 0587,101148,** WORK TAPE ** (should not have been a work tape) The dataset was recataloged properly in the OS usercat: IEC205I SYSUT2,SMFTAPE,GENER,FILESEQ=0001, EXTEND VOLUME LIST,... IEF285I ESA1T.SMF05.G0009V00 RECATALOGED IEF285I VOL SER NOS= all volumes listed But they were not chained properly in the TMC (nextvol, prevvol, etc). CA1 thought they were scratch tapes and they were reused the next day by another job, causing us to lose data. I spent all the next day (a Friday, of course) working with CA. They were not able to identify a problem. They gave me a special CAS9 input to reinitialize the CA1 modules and the problem went away. I have not been able to reproduce the problem, but have been worried about it ever since. I was a nervous wreck the whole weekend. I didn't know how many tapes had been trashed. All that we found were 3 tape datasets that were lost - the monthly SMF and CMF datasets and a CA7 LOG tape that is MOD'ed. That's all I can think of for now. Please keep me or the list posted on anything that you find out. We are running z/OS 1.4.
