BMC74228I

BLOCK COUNT REPOSITION USED, REASON= reasonCode, DDN= ddname

Explanation: During restart processing for the given application sequential access method (ASAM) data set, APPLICATION RESTART CONTROL (AR/CTL) determined that standard repositioning techniques cannot be used because they might result in a failure to correctly reposition the data set. Instead of using high speed reposition techniques, AR/CTL will read the data set block by block until the correct restart position is reached. The reason code indicates why normal reposition techniques could not be used:

  • 01 indicates that the data set is not on the same volume as it was during the previous execution.

This condition normally occurs if the data set has been moved. The data set movement might have occurred because of Storage Management Subsystem (DFSSMS) migration, use of the ASAM Copy utility, or other reasons. DFSSMS and the ASAM Copy utility preserve the number and relative position of the blocks. The data set must not be moved using other techniques (such as IEBGENER) that can reblock the data set. If reblocking occurs, data set repositioning might not be successful. Processing continues, and the data set is repositioned for application restart.

User response: No action is required.

BMC74229I

UNABLE TO OPEN DATA SET, REASON= reasonCode, RC= returnCode, DDN= ddname

Explanation: APPLICATION RESTART CONTROL (AR/CTL) could not open the given data set. The reason code indicates why open processing could not be performed. The following reason codes are possible:

Reason code

Description

01

The job step JCL did not contain a DD statement for the data set.

02

A nonzero return code was returned by the RDJFCB macro.

03

A nonzero return code was returned by the OPEN macro.

04

The locate mode buffer is too small.

05

The block size was not a multiple of the logical record length for a fixed-format data set.

06

During OPEN processing, the AR/CTL action module has determined that the file with the specified ddname was already open.

07

The data set was allocated as a temporary data set.

08

The data set being opened for repositioning has a disposition of NEW (DISP=NEW). A data set with a disposition of NEW cannot be opened for repositioning.

The return code provides the return code from the MVS service that failed. Processing continues, and the file characteristics block (FCB) for the data set is marked with a permanent error. The application receives a status or return code indicating that the data set could not be opened.

User response: Correct the problem identified by the reason and return codes in the message. Have the job step listing available if you contact BMC Customer Support.

BMC74230I

ASAM SERVICE ROUTINE FAILURE, REASON= reasonCode, RC= returnCode, DDN= ddname

Explanation: While processing a request for the given application sequential access method (ASAM) data set, APPLICATION RESTART CONTROL (AR/CTL) received a bad return code from either an ASAM or MVS service request. The reason code identifies the service that failed. The following values are possible:

Reason code

Description

01

A bad return code was received from the MVS POINT macro.

02

A bad return code was received from the MVS SYNCDEV macro.

03

User response: Correct the problem identified by the reason and return codes in the message. Have the job step listing available if you contact BMC Customer Support.

BMC74231I

ASAM RESTART FAILED, REASON= reasonCode, RC= returnCode, DDN= ddname

Explanation: While APPLICATION RESTART CONTROL (AR/CTL) attempted restart processing for the given application sequential access method (ASAM) data set, an error occurred that made restart impossible. The reason code indicates why restart processing failed or cannot be continued. The following reason codes are possible:

Reason code

Description

01

A mismatch was found in the number of ASAM data sets at restart. Either a data set that was present in the previous execution was missing for the current execution, or a data set was present in the current execution that did not exist in the previous execution.

02

An invalid condition was detected for the ASAM data set that was being repositioned during restart. See the return code descriptions for additional information about the invalid condition that was detected.

The return code provides additional information about why restart failed. The following return codes are possible:

Return code

Description

01

A data set present in the previous execution was missing from this execution.

02

This execution contains a data set not present in the previous execution because a new file characteristics block (FCB) was added.

03

A data set present in this execution does not reside on the same device category (DASD, tape, SYSIN, SYSOUT, and so on) as the original data set.

04

The data set being repositioned does not have the same block size as the original data set.

05

The data set being repositioned does not have the same record format as the original data set.

06

The data set being repositioned requires a block count restart for correct repositioning, but the application issued a GU call during the previous execution. The use of the GU call prevents AR/CTL from doing a block count restart.

07

Since the job step abended, the number of concatenated data sets has been reduced to one, causing the subsequent restart to fail. After a job step abends, the number of concatenated data sets can increase before a restart occurs, but the number cannot decrease.

08

The number of data sets in the concatenation is less than in the previous execution.

09

The data set cannot be repositioned because it is empty or does not contain the number of records needed for repositioning.

0A

The data set cannot be repositioned because an I/O error was encountered while AR/CTL was trying to read the first or second block.

Processing terminates abnormally.

User response: Correct the problem identified by the reason and return codes in the message. Have the job step listing available if you contact BMC Customer Support.

BMC74232I

UNABLE TO OBTAIN DATA SPACE, REASON= reasonCode, RC= returnCode, DDN= ddname

Explanation: APPLICATION RESTART CONTROL (AR/CTL) attempted to obtain a data space for the given application sequential access method (ASAM) data set that was specified as using output staging. The following reason codes indicate why the data space could not be obtained:

Explanation: The application sequential access method (ASAM) restart subtask bypassed the repositioning process for the indicated ddname, as requested by the user during file control block (FCB) generation.

User response: No action is required.

BMC74245I

REPOSITION BY RECORD NEEDED FOR DDN= ddname, BUT REPOSITION BY RECORD NOT ALLOWED

Explanation: The data set with the indicated ddname requires repositioning with the record-level technique, but the file characteristics block (FCB) indicates that this technique is not allowed. Processing terminates.

User response: Modify the FCB to allow repositioning by record, or copy the ASAM data set to a new location using the ASAM Copy utility.

BMC74246I

RECORD COUNT REPOSITION USED FOR DDN= ddname

Explanation: During restart processing for an application sequential access method (ASAM) data set, APPLICATION RESTART CONTROL (AR/CTL) determined that standard repositioning techniques could not be used because the data set had been moved to a different device or had been reblocked. Instead of using high-speed repositioning techniques, AR/CTL will read the data set records sequentially until it reaches the correct restart position. Processing continues, and the data set is repositioned for application restart. This condition normally occurs if the data set has been moved. The data set movement might have occurred because of Storage Management Subsystem (DFSMS) migration, use of the ASAM Copy utility, or other reasons. Such movements can cause changes to the number or relative position of the blocks within a data set.

User response: No action is required.
