Tape IO

Hello,

I’m not sure if this kind of question is suitable for this list, so if
it is not, then you can ignore my email : )

My program is writing to and reading from tape … Some users are
getting the following error: Error code 23 : Data error (cyclic
redundancy check). while trying to get the tape status.

I’m not sure how to debug this. is it something I did wrong in my
program? or is it just some kind of hardware problem? I wonder if I can
just simply ignore this error or not…

Any ideas?
