If it is an SA13, then the 10 indicates 10
A tape mark was read instead of a HDR1 label while forward spacing to the desired file on an SL or AL tape. Thus, the multifile tape ends before the desired file. When positioning to the end of file 1, this means the vol label is followed by a tape mark. Probable user error. Check the file sequence number and volume serial numbers and that the job that wrote the tape wrote all the files.
