I believe there are two separate components that can issue the CCW command which causes the display on the 3490 tape drive.
Allocation: 5752SC1B4 Open/Close/EOV: 5695DF107 Here's what I would do: Try to get specific examples of mounts where the message is missing. Were they associated with mount message IEF233A - that's Alocation. Were they associated with IEC501A - that's Open/Close/EOV. If you find that all examples the operators come up with are Allocation, open a PMR with Allocation. If Open/Close/EOV, then OCE. If both, then perhaps it might be a hardware problem. Just a suggestion - hope it helps!
