550: READTAPEFormat value is value but input tape is format

Explanation

A GET was issued for a data set on tape and a non-blank value was specified for READTAPEFormat. The READTAPEFormat specification does not match the tape label.

value is one of the following values:
  • F — Format was to be fixed .
  • V — Format was to be variable.
  • S — Format was to be spanned.
  • X — Format was to be lrecl X.
If value is X, format is:
  • lrecl nnnnn — tape label shows logical record length nnnnn.
If value is F, V, or S, format is:
  • lrecl X — tape label shows lrecl X format.
