Issue/Introduction

On an input to SARPAC, the client received a SARPAC05 message, accompanied by a SARTPI42 message. 

The SARTPI42 message includes ERR=1708:

 SARTPI42  TAPE ALLOCATION ERR=1708 INFO=0000 ...

 SARTPI44  DUPLEX TAPE DOES NOT EXIST OR DOES NOT CONTAIN FILE ...

 

Environment

CA View - All Releases

Cause

The ERR=1708 indicates that the tape is not in the catalog. 

Resolution

Note: In this particular instance, the client said that the tape in question no longer existed. 

 

As the tape no longer exists, the client was advised to:

 . Run function SARTSLST, using the following: 

//XXXXXXXX JOB ... 
//SARTSLST EXEC PGM=SARTSLST,PARM='view_hlq,nnnnn' <=== Modify DB name and Tape Seq
//STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=VIEW.CVDELOAD            <=== Modify, if used 
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* 
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=* 
//CTLCARDS DD DSN=xxxxxx.xxxxxx.CTLCARDS, 
//         DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE), 
//         UNIT=xxxx,VOL=SER=xxxxxx, 
//         SPACE=(TRK,(1,1),RLSE), 
//         DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=3120) 
//

 . Review the CTLCARDS output. 

 . If the CTLCARDS output contains any /CHANGE cards, isolate them immediately and run them through the View program SARBCH. 

 . Run any remaining /DELETE cards through SARBCH. 

 

 . At the next View backup, following the run of the SARBCH /DELETEs, the tape will expire from the View database.
