Explanation
(MVS, VM, and VSE) The number of sense
bytes, or bytes of statistical data, expected is not the same as the
number of sense bytes recorded by the device and specified in the
OBR record. EREP formats sense bytes according to the original engineering
requirements for a device’s EREP support. EREP has formatted the number
of sense bytes it expects to find in the record.
Programmer response
This message can appear in the report output
when either:
- The number of bytes formatted is less than the total number of
bytes the device actually recorded in the OBR record. In this case,
the message is informational; the unformatted sense bytes are not
relevant to the EREP report.
OR
- The number of bytes formatted is greater than the number of bytes
the device actually recorded in the OBR record, implying that the
byte counts (statistical or sense) were recorded erroneously. In this
case, the message indicates a problem.
If you suspect that the second case applies, perform problem
determination, focusing on the device as well as on the system recording
process.
