SLTCOPY Messages
381
Message Failed to read tape! The expected total number of the tape's EOF marks
were encountered before the data.
Cause The format of the master tape is unknown to SLTCOPY. SLTCOPY
expects three end of file (EOF) marks to indicate the end of data. Three
EOF marks were encountered before any data was read.
Action SLTCOPY cannot copy this tape.
Message File already exists. Purge old?
Cause The disk file that you specified for the tape copy already exists on the
system.
Action Reply “yes” if it is all right to overwrite the existing file.
Message That's not a multi-file type disk file.
Cause The disk file that you want SLTCOPY to copy to tape is not the correct file
type.
Action To get the correct disk file format for SLTCOPY, first use SLTCOPY to
copy a master tape to a disk file (using Option 1).
Message Can't handle file with # size records.
Cause The disk file that you want SLTCOPY to copy to tape has records that are
too large for SLTCOPY to copy.
Action To get the correct disk file format for SLTCOPY, first use SLTCOPY to
copy a master tape to a disk file (using Option 1).
Message Open failed on CATALOG.PUB.SYS.
Cause CATALOG.PUB.SYS is inaccessible to SLTCOPY.
Action Use the command “LISTFILE CATALOG.PUB.SYS,3” to verify that the
file exists and that it's accessible as shared; also check its security
(R,W,A,L,X:ANY). Also check that there is no file equation for
CATALOG.PUB.SYS which is redirecting access to an inappropriate file.
Then rerun SLTCOPY.
Message Error occurred while attempting to close the file. If you choose the “Copy
tape to disk” mode again, you will get the opportunity to enter a different
file name.
Cause After you entered the disk file name for Option 1 (Copy tape to disk), the
test closing of the file failed. The reason it failed is shown in a File
Information Display.
Action You will see the main menu after receiving this message. You can then
choose to exit the program (so you can adjust your capabilities), or choose
Option 1 again and specify a different file that will not cause the same
error.
