Allan, I tried your suggestion (shuttdown the STC ) & retried the recycle and it worked. Thanks.

Several messages were displayed "ARC0440I - VOLUME 032009 CONTAINS AN INVALID CDD OR A TAPE POSITIONING ERROR HAS OCCURRED.

Corrective actions (in order of preference: 1) Sometimes, HSM does get "confused". Bounce DFHSM and retry. In case (2) delete the offending file (the one with with the IO error) and retry. This file is normally the file immediately before the 1st RC=68. i.e. Single file delete and recovery. In case (1) an HSM audit to identify the possible datasets and update the CDS. In an extreme case, DELVOL PURGE will be required. This will clean up the CDS of all files that HSM thinks are on that volume.
