Volume Rejection Reasons

The following rejection reasons indicate that a specific volume was rejected during the search for a volume on which to stack the current data set. These rejection reasons do not necessarily mean that the data set was not stacked. Many volumes may be considered and rejected during the search for a volume on which to stack a data set.

Table 16 Volume Rejection Reason Code

Reason Code

Description

30

The volume is not active. Data sets can only be stacked on active volumes.

31

The volume is one of the following:

  • an external volume
  • controlled by an EDM
  • temporarily recalled from the vault
  • not in the Active library (MAINLIB)

32

The volume is not stackable (for example, it contains a data set created with the DISP=MOD expression), or the volume is in use.

33

A data set with retention type PERMANENT is on the volume, and the current data set has a different retention type.

34

A data set with retention type DATE is on the volume, and the current data set has a different retention type.

35

The expiration date of the current data set is later than the expiration date of the last data set on the volume.

36

The retention type of the current data set is PERMANENT or DATE, and the data sets on the volume have other retention types.

37

The volume has a status of Pend-Vault and neither V nor A was specified for the STKMODE installation parameter.

38

The volume has a status of Pend-Vault and the relevant rule does not specify a vault pattern (meaning, no DO VAULT statements were specified).

39

The volume’s media type was not specified in the CTTMEDDF installation parameter.

40

There is not enough space on the volume for the data set to be stacked.

41

The volume is about to be returned from a vault.

42

The vault pattern of the current data set has a different number of vaults than the vault pattern of the candidate volume.

43

The vault pattern of the current data set indicates different vaults than those specified in the vault pattern of the candidate volume.

44

The vault pattern of the current data set indicates different vault retention types than those specified in the vault pattern of the candidate volume.

45

The vault pattern of the current data set indicates different vault retention dates than those specified in the vault pattern of the candidate volume.

46

More than one possible retention type was specified for the current data set and/or the data sets on the volume. The AND/OR relationships between these retention types in the vaulting pattern of the data set are different from those specified in the vaulting pattern of data sets already on the volume.

47

The volume is being accessed by another user.

48

Control-M/Tape utility CTTGVL was used to hold a scratch volume for the data set. This rejection reason is returned when the volume held by utility CTTGVL was not scratch.

49

Control-M/Tape searched the maximum allowed number of volumes for a volume on which to stack the data set, and did not find a suitable volume.

50

The volume was rejected by Control-M/Tape Exit 10.

51

The stacking group of the data set does not match the stacking group of the volume.

52

The volume was rejected due to a DO STKRULE statement (in a Control-M/Tape rule) that does not allow the current data set to be stacked with the data sets on this volume or does not allow stacking with data sets created by the job that created one or more of the data sets of this volume.

53

The volume already contains the maximum allowed label number value (the STKMXLBL parameter).

54

The volume is not an SL (Standard Label) volume.

55

The volume that was selected by Exit 10 is from the wrong pool.

56

Current data set has a vault pattern, but the volume does not have a status of POTENTIAL VAULT.

57

Volume is already referenced by the current job.

58

Sequence number of current volume exceeds the limit set by the STKMXVOL parameter.

59

Volume and data set have conflicting vaulting methods, (meaning, one is to be vaulted by box while the other is to be vaulted by slot).
