Message CPDBC10 during LODIMGCLG Command

Resolving The Problem

When running the LODIMGCLG command, message CPDBC10 might be encountered:

Message . . . . :   Error with virtual volume image.                          
 Cause . . . . . :   The image object specified for the virtual optical volume 
   is not a valid volume image or an error occurred when accessing the storage 
   for the image object.  The virtual device used for the operation was        
   OPTVRTxx.                                                                   
 Recovery  . . . :   Load an image that is a valid optical volume image and    
   retry the operation. 

Important Note: This error is received when there is an optical image in the catalog that is not valid. This error usually occurs when the PTF or installation text files (xxxxx.txt) are included in the actual image catalog.

Example

The information from the job log follows:

Request . . . . : -LODIMGCLG IMGCLG(IMAGE) DEV(OPTVRT01) OPT1410

OPT1410 Message . . : Volume 050719151915577 added to optical device.   
                                                                       
CPCBC20 Message . . . . : Image catalog IMAGE, type *PTF verified.                       

Notice the duplicate volume IDs and the fact that they are date and time stamps rather than catalog entry names. This is indicative of the data being received from another system without using binary mode. Other message IDs received are OPT1331, OPT1320, and CPDBC28. 

After resending the data in binary, the images loaded correctly.

Resolution

Remove the invalid optical images from the image catalog and/or resend the data in binary mode.
