Error description

  • Tape dynamic allocation requests fail in ATAM environments if
    the DYNAL parameter list does not consider offline devices.
    The ATAM MDP feature offers detection and optional modification
    of such DYNAL parameter lists so that they do consider offline
    devices. The ATAM feature does not allow this function for
    started tasks because of concerns about introducing unexpected
    WAIT's.
