CHECK PLUS work file validity checks

To ensure that the SYSERR files used for processing are valid, CHECK PLUS determines whether a work file is allocated as a temporary data set or with DISP=MOD. For CHECK PLUS, a temporary data set is one whose normal or abnormal DISP is defined in one of the following ways:

  • DELETE
  • NEW,PASS
  • OLD,PASS and the original status is not OLD

CHECK PLUS determines whether it should terminate when it encounters a work file that has been allocated as a temporary data set based on the value for the FILECHK installation option. See CHECK-PLUS-installation-options for more information about the FILECHK installation option.

FILECHK=FAIL

If your installation options specify FILECHK=FAIL and if CHECK PLUS finds that the SYSERR data sets are temporary, CHECK PLUS terminates. On output, if the disposition is MOD, CHECK PLUS resets it to empty.

FILECHK=WARN

You can force CHECK PLUS to process the SYSERR data set in WARN mode instead of FAIL mode by specifying FILECHK=WARN in the CHECK PLUS installation options. In WARN mode, CHECK PLUS issues a warning message but continues processing if SYSERR is allocated as a temporary data set.
