Re: MCH3601 error in backup routine

["Mike Shaw" <mshaw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Stuart,

I have seen the MCH3601 error in conjunction with a SAVSYS...Had a damaged
LAN DEVD in QSYS and it issued the message in conjunction with the save of
configuration data.  If you go to the JOBLOG, and determine what library it
was backing up, are there any damaged objects in that library?

HTH,
