Re: "Load next volume" message getting cancelled

Dan,

I've seen in other nightly systems that programming adds the reply list
entry at the beginning and then removes it at the end.  I would look for
one!  This is generally added to an application when a tape message sits
there all night long waiting for a human to get to work.

Subject:  "Load next volume" message getting cancelled


Note before answering the question:  I have checked the system reply
list!

I have a backup running at one of my AS/400 sites that is beginning to
need a second tape.  I am specifying the two volume IDs, i.e.
VOL('FRI1W1' 'FRI2W1') , but when message CPA4089 appears to tell me
that I need to "Load volume FRI2W1 on device TAP03. (C G)", it gets
responded to automatically by the system with a 'C' response.

Immediately following the auto 'C' response, is a message CPF5104
"Cancel reply received for message CPA4089.  Either a cancel reply was
received from the operator or the program, or the system used a default
reply..."

This all occurred in the space of a second and it happened at 3:00 in
the morning when the building is empty, so I've ruled out someone
pressing the magic key.  I looked in the system reply list, and CPA4089
is NOT there.  I checked both the job log and program source for CPA4089
being monitored, either by a global MONMSG or "local" MONMSG, and
there's nothing there.  The program has no global MONMSGs, and their is
no MONMSG on the command that issued the request for the next volume.

Where else can I look?
