ERR_PDS_03_POS_NOT_AFTER_TAPEMARK
Meaning
Positioning error: There is no tape marke immediately in front of the read/write position that
is to be adopted. The block position transferred is presumably not correct.
Response
Evaluate the physical error code and sense bytes. It may be that the PLM has transferred
an incorrect block number. If you think this is the case, save the diagnostic documentation.

ERR_PDS_02_GENERIC
Meaning
Generic error
Response
Notify maintenance staff.
ERR_PDS_02_OPEN
Meaning
Possible causes:
– Error while opening the TFS cache file
– File ID is not correct (-F)
Through asynchronous backup of the logical volume to tape with a time delay caused
by other backup jobs or long positioning times on the tape, the host can have modified
the logical volume in the meantime and thus have changed the file ID. The backup is
started again by this modification.
– Illegal path name
– No write/read access to file
Response
Notify maintenance staff.
ERR_PDS_02_READ
Meaning
Error while reading from the cache file
