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:

If value is F, V, or S, format is:
- lrecl X — tape label shows lrecl X format.
