Hi,

yes - seems like Binary Coded Decimal problem - not only IBM libraries are 
affected.

We'll just have to wait for IBM to wipe the egg off its face.  VJ in Prague 
seems to have it right.  The logging code written for the 3494 or whatever 
seems to have been propagated thru all IBM tape libraries.

Well, I just found it in ours.  At this point I'd assume it's fairly global.  
If anyone gets / finds a fix, let us know.  I have two 3584s I'd like to get 
back from the future.  :-D

See Ya'

Well its simple ...

0x9 in binary = 9 in decimal
0x10 in binary = 16 in decimal

y2k bug strikes back.

Keith

We've got the same issue on two TS3500 libraries (running code v8870 and
v7420).

It's funny as we were only reminiscing last week about the fun we'd had 10
years ago fighting the millennium bug. We even joked about having systems
today that weren't 'decade compliant', but dismissed the idea for being
too silly!

Happy New Year to the ADSM-L community.
