All, I have a weird one going that I need some direction on. I've got a tape that was created this past Friday with 136 stacked files on it. BTW, this is a vitual 3490 tape emulated in the new IBM Hydra 7700 VTS. What is weird is that there are a bunch of stacked files missing(note the missing FSEQ #'s):

CA-1 says it's there, the CATALOG says it should be there, but this tape label dump of the virtual tape, clearly shows its not there. I've looked at the job that created this tape, and no abends, or abnormal messages, nothing in LOGREC. I'm at a loss of where to look next. If this were a real tape, I'd think that the tape was bad. I'm even at a loss on where to start with problem tickets - hardware? CA-1, Z/OS (1.6). I'm almost thinking it is somehow a problem with the 7700.
