ABEND codes


Any of the programs and utilities in the FDR family may ABEND (abnormally end) with any of the following user ABEND codes. In many cases, a diagnostic message is printed before the ABEND, so look up any error messages that were printed first. If no message was printed that relates to this ABEND, then read the explanation below. Contact BMC Support if you need assistance understanding or resolving the error.

Number

Description

U0100

OPEN ERROR TRYING TO OPEN A DASD DCB


Reason: Usually proceeded by an FDR324 message. Check the job log for IBM messages that may indicate the reason for the error.

U0101

MAXIMUM I/O ERRORS EXCEEDED ON A DIRECT-ACCESS DEVICE


Reason: A DASD I/O error has occurred during the FDRPAS copy. The swap is terminated.

U0103

DISK DEVICE TYPE NOT SUPPORTED OR VTOC TOO BIG


Reason: The type of DASD being backed up or restored is not among those supported by FDRPAS or an internal table was exceeded because the VTOC is too large.

U0105

FDRPAS I/O INTERCEPTS FAILED TO INSTALL


Reason: A time-out occurred while trying to install the FDRPAS I/O intercepts on a source volume.

U0107

IEEVARYD DID NOT COMPLETE


Reason: FDRPAS invoked the IBM service IEEVARYD for the target device after a swap, but it did not complete. Contact BMC Support for assistance.

U0108

STORAGE FRAGMENTATION

Reason: When processing a DASD with more than 10017 cylinders, FDRPAS could not find a contiguous storage area for a control record. Contact BMC Support for assistance.

U0300

MAXIMUM FOR COUNT FIELD ERRORS ON DIRECT-ACCESS DEVICE EXCEEDED


Reason: Possibly invalid data was encountered on an FDRPAS source volume. The swap is terminated.

U0301

MAXIMUM FOR INVALID RECORD ZEROS ON A DIRECT-ACCESS DEVICE EXCEEDED


Reason: Possibly invalid data was encountered on an FDRPAS source volume. The swap is terminated.

U0401

SYSIN DD STATEMENT ERROR


Reason: SYSIN DD statement missing or incorrectly specified or I/O error on SYSIN data set.

U0402

SYSPRINT/SYSPRINn/ABRMAP/SYSMAP DD STATEMENT ERROR


Reason: One of the above DD statements is missing or incorrectly coded or I/O error occurred processing the data set. There must always be a SYSPRINT DD statement, and there must be a SYSPRINn DD statement for each backup TAPEn DD statement when using ATTACH or ABR.

U0502

ONE OR MORE CONTROL STATEMENTS ARE IN ERROR


Reason: One or more of the control statements specified are not recognized by the program being executed.

U0600

REQUIRED DD STATEMENT IS MISSING OR IN ERROR


Reason: A message is always printed with the DDNAME and reason.

U0609

DYNAMIC ALLOCATION ERROR


Reason: Message FDR336 shows the specific cause.

U0612

EXIT ERROR


Reason: A parameter passed back by a user-written security exit was invalid.

U0650

DISK xxxx  DD STATEMENT OPEN FAILED

U0801

RESTORE CANCELLED BY OPERATOR OR SECURITY FAILURE


Reason: This ABEND can also be issued for other errors as described by messages in the listing. For an ABR SNAP or SPLIT with DSNENQ=, a data set was found to be in use by another task (message  FDR158 ) so the SNAP or SPLIT is canceled. Specify ENQERR=NO on the SNAP or SPLIT statement if you want to create the point-in-time backup anyway.

U0802

INVALID COMPLETION CODE FROM A USER EXIT


Reason: A parameter passed back by a user security exit was invalid.

U0888

A NON-TERMINATING ERROR OCCURRED


Reason: One or more FDRPAS operations abnormally terminated or ended with diagnostic messages, but the errors were not severe enough to prematurely terminate the entire step. This ABEND is issued to call attention to the errors. Examine the printout for the error messages causing this ABEND.

U0991

LEVEL MISMATCH OR INTERNAL LOGIC ERROR


Reason: Some possible causes are:

  1. The FDR modules loaded by this jobstep are not all from the same release and level.
  2. The program detected an internal logic error.

Action: Corresponding actions are:

  1. In general, all of the modules for the FDR system in a given program library should be loaded from the same distribution, and all of the modules for the FDR system in one jobstep should be loaded from a single program library.

    1. Only one library in LINKLIST should contain modules for the FDR system.
    2. If the STEPLIB or JOBLIB DD for a jobstep for the FDR system is concatenated (e.g. to enable use of EMC TimeFinder), only one of the libraries should contain modules for the FDR system.

    Also, FDRPAS, FDRMOVE, and FDRERASE should always be run with a STEPLIB or JOBLIB, never from LINKLIST.

    If you desire further assistance after checking the above points, please contact BMC support.

U0995

ABEND ESTAE TIMEOUT


Reason: When the SWAP task of an FDRPAS execution ABENDs (including because of a CANCEL(C) command), the ESTAE routine activates cancel protection for two minutes to allow time for proper cleanup. During this time, if a second CANCEL(C) command is entered, it is ignored. After two minutes, if termination has not completed, the CANCEL(C) command is re-enabled; also, the particular subtask that was in the process of terminating is ended with an immediate U0995 ABEND.

U0996

DIAGNOSTIC ABEND


Reason: This is an intentional ABEND activated by a debugging feature (ABENDM=).

U0614

FDRPAS GRS RNL ERROR

Reason: This abend code is issued in combination with either message FDR350** or FDR351**. For more information about the associated message, see Messages.
