This section lists the operation code values for tape library devices. See Operation Code Values for Tape Library Devices for a description of the operation codes.
The following table shows the completion code values, in

The following table shows the completion code values, in
decimal and hexadecimal numbers, for the media changers. It provides a
description for the I/O error message and the recommended action. After
performing the recommended action, retry the failing operation. If the
failing operation is not successful, contact TSM support.
