RE: PAL Log Analysis Report 63A0FFF6 Stat - 2000+ entries per night

Jim,

Below is the detail for one of the errors.
I questioned this decades ago, was told this is normal, informational only.
Does anyone see at least some of these?
If not, is there a tape setting (BRMS or non BRMS) that tells the machine to log these?

However, I'm thinking if this number reaches some sort of threshold, this could be the cause of my EL-ERRLOG consuming 30% CPU.

No, I've not see anything like that before. I think it's a call to IBM.

Is it normal, while a save is running, that 3 to 10 63A0FFF6 Stat (Tape volume statistics log) are written to the PAL every minute.
Resulting in approximately 2,000 63A0FFF6 Stat messages every night.
