Dave - You didn't provide the commands you used, but based on the REAS=0168, I'd suggest specifying the UNIT(unittype) on your command & if necessary, the VOLUME(volser) parameter. If it was migrated from a 3380, the recall & recover are probably still trying to use that unit type & you need to over-ride it.
HTH's ddk /////////////////// A recall of the first dataset listed below results in ARC1113I I/O ERROR WRITING PRIMARY COPY Explanation: While DFSMShsm was writing the primary copy of a data set during a recall or recovery operation, an I/O error occurred or invalid data was found. If an I/O error occurred an access method or hardware error message should precede this message or be found in the DFSMShsm job log SYSMSG data set. Message ARC1001I also precedes this message, giving the operation in process, the name of the data set, and a reason code. Reascode Meaning 8 Direct access data records exceed the track capacity of the output device. Attempting to recover the backup with a rename results in ARC1001I SYSMGT.D93132.N001606 RECOVER FAILED, RC=0008, REAS=0168 ARC1108I ERROR CATALOGING DATA SET The data was migrated in the early 90's, I don't see how the current track capacity could be exceeded. Of course no one is here who is knowledgeable of what was done. I'm open to suggestions.
