required state.

For Libraries managed under DFSMS/MVS system managed tape environment,

this will result in the following message being displayed at the host console:

CBR3750I Message from Library library-name: message. Intervention text will

be truncated at 70 characters. See Table 7 on page 216 for complete text string

based on intervention number.
