SELECT (FAILEDCREATE): Listing all tape volumes that have incomplete data set information saved in the OCDS TTOC record

Explanation: FAILEDCREATE is an optional parameter used when you specify LIST TAPETABLEOFCONTENTS without the volser.

FAILEDCREATE lists only the volumes that have not been created.

If DFSMShsm issues message ARC0378I, it indicates the TTOC for a volume is incomplete. Use LIST TAPETABLEOFCONTENTS SELECT(FAILEDCREATE) to list all volumes that have incomplete data set information saved in the OCDS TTOC record.

Defaults: None.
Note:
  1. Multihost Consideration: As an example, consider two hosts, ‘A’ and ‘B’. If host ‘A’ has experienced an outage and has not been restarted, you cannot use host ‘B’ to issue the FAILEDCREATE parameter to list all tape volumes that have incomplete data set information saved in the OCDS TTOC record.
  2. If DFSMShsm has issued message ARC0378I, indicating that there is a mismatch between the OCDS TTOC and the tape media, we recommend using the AUDIT MEDIACONTROLS FIX command to resolve the problem. See MEDIACONTROLS VOLUMES and MEDIACONTROLS(SDSP) VOLUMES: Requesting an audit of control information for more information. Also see Using the AUDIT command for more information on using AUDIT MEDIACONTROLS. An explanation of how to correct the mismatch can be found in the How to handle inconsistencies between tape media contents and OCDS TTOC records.
