Robert, Good point. We have ditto here (well file manager), I'll play around with it a little. We do have a open incident with IBM VTS group on this.

Rosenberg Sent: Monday, April 16, 2007 8:50 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: S813-04 Tape errors Have you tried to read the file at FSEQ=52 (ie: The first file after the GAP)? Does it read correctly and is it the correct data (ie: Not the data that should have been in FSEQ=45)? From what you show, I'd suspect the 7700 since it seems to be ignoring the lack of FSEQs=45-51 and FSEQs=53-59 and is claiming that the file after FSEQ=44 is FSEQ=52. Do you have a utility that will read EVERY file on the tape as BLP and display the first few records (I seem to remember that this type of utility exists and is on the CBT Tape). If you have such a Utility (or get it from the CBT Tape) then run it. It should show the VOL1/HDR/EOF headers with Data Records 1-3 interspersed. Once it shows FSEQ44's EOF, what is shown next? If it is FSEQ52's HDR1+HDR2 (and they read FSEQ52) then there is something major wrong unless the 7700 saves each file seperatly and creates the Virtual Tape Image on the fly by pointing at the separate files (as opposed to having the Tape Image as a single file). If it does On-The-Fly Build then the error is on the 7700 with the table it uses to assemble the Tape Image (ie: It says the 45th file on the tape is the file whose FSEQ is 52 with FSEQ=60 as file 46. IOW: It lost the pointers to the FSEQ=45-51 and 53-59 images and never placed them into its table (just making FSEQ52 and 60 the next files after FSEQ44 when it builds it On-The-Fly Tape Image).
