A correctable tape error is one in which a block error is detected
but corrected during a read or write to the tape. This type of error
may be caused by either a soft tape error (for example, the tape
head is jiggled while reading or writing data), or by a hard tape
error (for example, a scratch or a hole in the tape that affects only a
single sector of the tape).
The auxiliary data field indicates the file on the tape in which the
error was detected. Refer to Table C for a list of possible auxiliary
data field values and the corresponding tape file.
With this error, the tape is fully functional but is in danger of
developing an uncorrectable tape error. The tape cartridge should
be changed when it is convenient to do so.
To clear Error Type #2049, follow the procedures given in the
footnotes for Error Type #1793.

■ [G1.1] Whenever any maintenance test fails due to an correctable

To clear Error Type #2084, follow the procedures given in the footnotes for
Error Type #1793.
h. [G1.1, G3iV1 EDI 6.0 and earlier] Error Type #2817 is reported whenever
the tape read/write test fails. The auxiliary data field indicates the cause of
the test failure as follows:
i. Error Type #3329 indicates that an error occurred while loading
translations. This error and the corresponding alarm occurs at power-up
or on a Reset System 3, 4, or 5 if the system cannot load translations. This
error results in a MAJOR alarm if translations are not already loaded and in
a MINOR alarm otherwise. If the system does not contain valid
translations, this alarm will invoke Emergency Transfer.
