The auxiliary data field indicates the file on the tape in which the error was
detected. Refer to Table C for a list of possible auxiliary data field values
and the corresponding tape file.
Since this error may be the result of a problem with either the tape or the
tape drive unit, the tape cartridge should be changed first. If the problem
persists, the tape unit should be changed. When this error is first
detected, follow "Error Type #1793 - Repair Procedure."
Error Type #1793 - Repair Procedure:
1. Replace the tape cartridge in the tape unit on which the error
occurred with a new tape cartridge.
2. [G1.2, G3iV1.1-286] Issue the test tape [a/b] long clear command
for the associated tape drive unit.
[G1.1] Issue the test tape [a/b] long repeat 3 command for the
associated tape drive unit. If the system release is earlier than
G1.1, refer to Note (o) also.
3. If all tests pass, assume that the problem has been resolved.
If some tests fail, resolve those errors and repeat Step #2.
4. If translations have not already been saved onto the new tape,
issue the save translations command.
5. If the system contains recorded announcements, issue the save
announcements command.
If this error reappears and becomes a chronic problem, the fault may be
with the tape drive unit, and it could be intermittent in nature. In this case,
replace the tape drive unit with a new tape drive unit and repeat "Error
Type #1793 - Repair Procedure." Refer to Step 5 of the ‘‘
Tape
Maintenance and Repair Procedures’’ section for directions on how to
replace the tape drive unit.
