Hi All,
I have a job which has nearly 50 steps.We have decided to mount multilpe files on a tape.So we have used VOLUME parameter with REFER option.
At the very first step I use the VOL=(,RETAIN,,99) and the consecutive steps used as VOL=(,RETAIN,REF=*.PROCSTEP.STEPNAME.DDNAME)
Since the input files are very large, we are getting the abend SA13-18.The info in QW
| Code: | 18 An EOV1 label was read on the last SL or AL tape volume while
forward spacing to the desired file or just before the desired
file. There are two possible conditions:
1. If opening to the end of the file, it could not be treated
as the end of the data set because it was for a previous
file sequence number. Probable user error.
2. If the user is trying to extend a data set that had abended
during EOV, it is necessary to specify a volume count on the
DISP=MOD DD statement. This volume count must exceed the
number of known volumes for the data set.
|
For example:
Job has 50 steps and at 25th step it got abended with SA13. Using the Volume number 12345, I verified in TMS and it shows 24 files with the same volume number 12345,but the 24th file has two volume numbers 12345 and 67890.When I looked the datasets in 3.4 option, the 24th dataset has 12345+ in the volume.
I think when 25th step tries to REFER the VOLUME 12345 which is EOV(End of Volume), it is not able to switch to the volume 67890.
Please let me know your inputs and how to solve this problem. |

Your VOL=REF parameters probably all point back to the very first STEP.DDname. Make each one refer back to the prior step so the current volser list is known to allocation routines.

Bill,
I referring to the prior step not to the first step. |

another possibility is that you speciied a volume serial in the first step, e.g., VOL=SER=12345. The volume referback only works for multi-vol if the first step is non-specific (scratch tape).
