Long time since I have been able to use tape. Most common cause of sensitivity errors I had was not cleaning the tape head.
Might want to have someone verify that the tape heads are being cleaned regularly AND that approved cleaning materials/tapes are being used.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
just a short question:
Is a error label always equal to a error identifier?
So it does not matter if i search for an specific identifier (errpt -j) or a specific label (errpt -J)?
