My question is going to be very general. Our shop has the policy of running daily back up from Mon-friday on a incremental basis(Volume Level). So we have been using this Keyword at sysin control card : DATASET(INCLUDE(**) BY(DSCHA,EQ,YES), which means that the backup would take place only if any changes have been occurred on a specific Volume. Recently in our Z/OS 1.13
Testing box we ended with Below error.

ADR049E (001)-STEND(01), 2012.340 15:29:13 DFSMSDSS FUNCTION TASK ABEND RECOVERY ROUTINE WAS ENTERED. SYSTEM ABEND CODE=0A13 REASON
CODE=0010
 <much snippage>
Return Code Explanation:
10
A tape mark was read instead of a HDR1 label while forward spacing to the desired file on an SL or AL tape. Thus, the multifile tape ends before the desired file. When positioning to the end of file 1, this means the vol label is followed by a tape mark. Probable user error. Check the file sequence number and volume serial numbers and that the
job that wrote the tape wrote all the files

The JCL which we are using like below :

//STEP01   EXEC PGM=ADRDSSU PARM='TYPRUN=NORUN'
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*
//DASD1    DD UNIT=3390,VOL=SER=&VOL,DISP=SHR
//TAPE1 DD UNIT=890,VOL=(,RETAIN,SER=&TAPE),DISP=(NEW,KEEP),
//            DSNAME=BACKUP.INC.&VOL,LABEL=(&LBL,SL)
//SYSIN    DD DSN=JAKE.TEST.CNTL(CARD),DISP=SHR
//BACKUP   PEND
//DASD01   EXEC BACKUP,VOL=TVX3A1,TAPE=TS1IN4,LBL=01
//DASD02   EXEC BACKUP,VOL=TVX3A2,TAPE=TS1IN4,LBL=02
//DASD03   EXEC BACKUP,VOL=MTWK05,TAPE=TS1IN4,LBL=03

I see three possibilities, one of which *might* be aparable:

1. The system is now properly checking that file one exists on a tape when you're specifying label=2. It seems unlikely to me that it wasn't in previous versions. But if this is the problem, you may be out of luck.

2. It may be that you never before had an occasion when there were no updated datasets on any (except maybe your last) disk. This would be unrelated to the upgrade, and would have been waiting to bite you.

3. It may be that previous versions of ADRDSSU would create an output file, even if there were no datasets being backed up. If you can show that this was the case, IBM might take an APAR to change the action back.
