Sorry I misread the path name So the command should be D M=CHP(B0) Also check out the redbook FICON Planning and Implementation SG24-6497. It has a decent write-up of various reasons for the IOS2001I messages.
Since you B0 / FF is not documented, I would recommend contacting IBM IOS group through an ETR. Have you reset the control unit?
