Error Log Interpretation

During a Save 21, it blew off after "65 of 90 libraries processed..." with a
CPF5349 error.



As it suggested, I cleaned the tape drive, re-initialized the tape and
re-ran Save 21. Same error occurred at the same place. System Service
Tools (SST), too,logged an error saying that the tape was defective or the
drive needed cleaning.



Okay, pretty lame to use the same tape the second time, but my question is
"How do I interpret the PRTERRLOG report?" I run this as part of our
weekend process. This weekend's report shows:



DTO 07/14/12 22:00:05


Title . . . . . . . . . . : Volume Statistics Report

tape

Volume ---Temporary Errors--- --------K Bytes--------


ID Read Write Read Written


DTO003 0 2482 14 12602407




DTO003 is the tape that crapped out. Help for the command doesn't give any
clues regarding how to interpret the report, and the Info Center only talks
about how to run the report.



So, how do I use the report to determine when to pull a tape from inventory?



Thanks.
