SCAN output

The scan output is written to the SYSPRINT file for all SCAN commands. When EDGINERS is run from the console, it is also issued as a multiline message to the operator console. See WTO SCAN results messages for the format of truncated messages written by WTO.

EDG6685I DATA SET ATTRIBUTES WERE PREVIOUSLY CHANGED USING COPYFROM

The output summary lines (the last four lines of the example in Figure 1) are displayed for standard label volumes to enable the label information and DFSMSrmm information to be compared. Standard label volumes can be either SL or AL, or EDGINERS created RMNL, with or without User labels. The differences are highlighted by an "*" in the appropriate column of the "Mismatch(*)" output line. If EDGINERS detects that data set attributes have been copied by a tape copy application, the message EDG6685I is issued to help the storage administrator understand why the mismatch is shown. See the topic Handling Volume Discrepancies in z/OS DFSMSrmm Managing and Using Removable Media.

The output summary lines are included under these circumstances:

Heading line: When one or more of the following summary lines are required
On vol: When one or more labels were read from the volume (VOL1/HDR1/RMNL)
Mismatch(*): When there is a difference between the volume labels and DFSMSrmm information
RMM data: When a volume record is available in DFSMSrmm. The data used is partly from the volume record and the remainder from the data set record for the first file if it exists.
