Environment

Release : 14.0

Resolution

637-58 means that the system encountered an error while attempting to update a volume record in the tape configuration database.

The TEMPSCR parameter from the TLMSIPO should be set to NO and then run the CAS9 with the PARM(REINIT) in the TLRIMPRM (CARIMPRM) in PPOPTION library.

Use the TEMPSCR system option to avoid temporary datasets being set to SCRATCH=YES upon close.

This system option has the following format:

TEMPSCR=[NO|YES]

YES specifies that any temporary datasets should be set to SCRATCH=YES upon close.  The default of TEMPSCR=YES is the way TLMS currently works.

Default: YES

Example: TEMPSCR System Option

TEMPSCR=NO

Allow temporary system data sets to be kept on tape volumes.
