Long time since I posted here last...

I have an OpenVMS/Alpha Cluster v7.3-2 with a node having a TL892
library.  I use an old version of ABS (v3.?) (I know, much newer but this
has worked for years so why change it if it was not broken?).  In past
couple weeks I have noticed these errors that break the backup process.
It should be noted that it ***DOES*** work OK (from logs anyway) for 8
entire disks before getting this error in my monthly archive job:

Operation #9 starting at  9-APR-2010 19:36:10

Does anyone have any suggestions on what is meant by "UNKNOWN MOVEMENT
TYPE" and the subsequent service Open failure and invalid I/O channel?
This might have started after the VMS732_Update v20 but I can't confirm
that since old logs are not around anymore.  That update was applied here
in early Feb 2010.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Rick,

you might want to consider posting your question in the HP OpenVMS
ITRC forum. It looks like some knowledgeable ABS engineers are
currently participating in that forum.
