Not necessarily. I always assume that I have made an error in building the channel program regardless of the minutiae within the error message. So far I have always been right. I have seen a very recent case of an obvious hardware error-induced IOSxxxx message that was caused by an incorrect CCW flag bit. The error message can point you to the CCW that probably has the problem. Examine that CCW carefully; e.g., a 9D must always be executed within a Locate Record Domain. Make sure all the Define Extent and Locate Record (or Locate Record Extended) parameter are correct. Then work your way forward from the last LRD in the chain, making sure that each CCW before the 9D executed. My advice is to look for a hardware error as a last resort. Bill Fairchild Franklin, TN
