IGD306I UNEXPECTED ERROR DURING ?CBRXLCS PROCESSING
RETURN CODE 8 REASON CODE 51
THE MODULE THAT DETECTED THE ERROR IS IGDCAT01
SMS MODULE TRACE BACK - CAT01 CAT00 SSIRT

| That error is not produced by JCL but the program that is being executed. JCL alone will not do what you want but your TLMS may - if you get the control cards right (refer to manual or your tape librarian). |

You cannot call for scratch volume by specific-volser. If you are attempting
write new data to a new tape; it should be without a volser and just select the next scratch volume. If you are attempting to read or mod data onto an existing tape; the tape has been scratched (why?) inside the robot. In that case, you would need to "un-scratch" the tape (change its status to PRIVATE) using the ISMF panels and then re-submit the job. |

Contact your site support group!
If the volume has been scratched, at some sites that means the data is overwritten and hence even if you change the status from SCRATCH to PRIVATE, you will be unable to recover any of the data. If the volume has merely been marked SCRATCH without being written to, you can recover the data. But only your site support group can help you -- and they should have been your FIRST call when you discovered the problem. If the tape has been written to since you posted here, then you have lost the data -- period. |

Thanks Rohit.The files has not been used for a longer time and it went on SCRATCH.I have generated new files and that worked.I am coping the data from the Dataset to other Dataset for a transmit operation.But i am just checking the possible ways to bring the files back to PRIVATE.
Could you let me know how to make the status PRIVATE using ISMF panels please ? |

Adding to what Robert has said, and I really do recommend that you follow his advice and contact the support group responsible - If the volume is VTS resident, depending on the settings at YOUR SITE even if the volume serial number has not been reused it may well be useless anyway. If the volume header information is deleted from the VTS control file then the volume will be totally useless. |

I spent some time looking up the IGD330I message. The message description referred me to DFSMS Diagnosis for a description of return code 8, reason code 51. Guess what: "Specific volume serial request for a scratch volume."
In my career I don't think I ever encountered this message. On numerous occasions I have encountered a situation where a volume is in scratch status and I've been able to recover its contents provided it was not written over. However, these were all real tapes.
As others have noted, if the volume is a "virtual" volume in some sort of virtual tape system, I suspect it will not be possible to recover the data, but I'm no expert in these systems.
Somewhere someone suggested using IEHMOVE. All IEHMOVE does is sort of fake out JCL. Once it has done that it uses standard z/OS data management services. If you can't use JCL to specify the data, I don't think IEHMOVE will help you. On the other hand, I could be wrong; it can't hurt to try. |
