 Rochester are CONSTANTLY behind on updating the allowed VOLTYPE's to
cover newer tape drives (usually with new QIC types).  There may be a PTF
to cover the 3570 for whatever release and whatever PTF cum level (you
don't say) you are on.  If not, use a similar type of tape device.  If you
run STRSST 1, 1, 4  you will see the major device categories:
1=Reel tape
2=Self-configured tape device
  and 1/4 inch cartridge tape
3=1/2 inch cartridge tape
4=8-mm cartridge tape
5=5-1/4 inch diskette
6=8-inch diskette
7=Optical

Choose another similar device.  Maybe 3490 would work.

I am using the following command to display tape error information:

PRTERRLOG TYPE(*VOLSTAT) VOLTYPE(3570)

It is not showing any of the tapes that I am using. I use the following
command to init the tapes:

INZTAP     DEV(TAP01) NEWVOL(00501) CHECK(*NO)

Any ideas why the information does not show for my tapes?
