VSAM Interface

During VSAM processing, the VSAM subsystem has detected that address or length of of the control block or buffer indicated by $1 is missing or invalid.

The program as terminated and the message is sent to the program user.

This is an internal error and should be reported to your help desk or operations area.

This normally indicates that an overwrite has occurred in thread, causing the Com-plete VSAM control blocks to be corrupted. Correcting this overwrite should alleviate the problem. In the event that no overwrite has taken place, contact your local support centre with the details surrounding the abend and the dump.

This message is associated with Com-plete support of VSAM. During the processing of an application program OPEN request for a VSAM file, a disk input/output error was detected while attempting to read or write the Com-plete file status directory.

The program is abnormally terminated with a storage dump.

Notify the Com-plete system programmer.

This message indicates a serious hardware failure on the direct access unit containing the Com-plete program library. Appropriate sense/status information as determined by the operating system I/O supervisor will be displayed on the system console.

This message is associated with Com-plete support of VSAM. During the processing of an application program OPEN request for a VSAM file, the requested file was located in the Com-plete file directory; however, the organization as declared when the file was cataloged was not VS.

The program is abnormally terminated with a storage dump.

Notify the application programmer responsible for the program in use when the error occurred.

Recatalog the file using ULIB and provide the correct VSAM attributes.

This message is associated with Com-plete support of VSAM. During the processing of an application program VSAM request, Com-plete detected that the VSAM status area in the thread had been overlayed by the application program.

The program is abnormally terminated with a storage dump.

Notify the application programmer responsible for the failing program.

The VSAM status area is dynamically obtained from thread storage at the time the application program ACB is first OPENed. It is pointed to by the ACBINRTN address in the ACB in error. Determine what is damaging the status area, correct the program, and recatalog it.

This message is associated with Com-plete support of VSAM. The application program requested VSAM processing using a VSAM macro or function; however, the function code (in R0) was invalid.

The program is abnormally terminated with a storage dump.

Notify the application programmer responsible for the failing program.

The VSAM request code must be in the range 0 through 5, indicating GET, PUT, CHECK, ENDREQ, ERASE, or POINT. Correct and recatalog the program.

This message is associated with Com-plete support of VSAM. An unrecoverable physical I/O error has occurred on a direct access device containing the VSAM cluster during processing of the program request.

The program is abnormally terminated with a storage dump.

Notify the Com-plete system programmer.

The status of the VSAM cluster, especially if it is being updated, is in doubt. The appropriate sense/status information for the direct access device will be displayed on the system console by the input/output supervisor. Use VSAM access method services to determine whether the VSAM file is damaged. It may be necessary to unload and reload the file, relocate it to another device, etc.

This message is associated with Com-plete support of VSAM. The application program requested a valid VSAM function using chained Request Parameter Lists. The chaining was recursive (i.e., created a loop condition).

The program is abnormally terminated with a storage dump.

Notify the application programmer responsible for the failing program.

Correct and recatalog the program.

Self-explanatory message.

An application program tried to open the VSAM file with the DDNAME indicated by $1. This file is defined in Com-plete with a password, but the application program did not supply the password or they didn't match.

The OPEN request fails with a return code of 8 and a feedback code of 152 (X'98') returned in the ACB.

If the definition of a VSAM file in Com-plete specifies a password, Com-plete supplies this password to VSAM when opening the Main ACB. On the other side, each application program must specify this password when opening an ACB, regardless of VSAM really requiring it or not.

Supply the correct password when opening the ACB.

This message is associated with Com-plete initialisation processing for the Virtual Storage Access Method (VSAM). The startup parameters (VSAMBUFFERS keyword) indicated that Com-plete was to establish a local shared resource pool for VSAM files, but the BLDVRP macro instruction failed due to lack of virtual storage.

Com-plete terminates normally with a return code of 8.

In response to this message

1. Make more real storage available to Com-plete by increasing its REGION parameter or by redefining its partition.

2. Decrease the size of or eliminate the VSAM shared resource pool (by changing the VSAMBUFFERS parameter).

3. Decrease other Com-plete storage requirements. To reduce Com-plete main storage requirements: Request fewer and/or smaller threads. Reduce the size of the small buffer pool. Reduce the size of the TIBTAB by reducing the value specified for NOTIBS in the TIBSTART macro.

For information on how to make these modifications, refer to the Com-plete System Programmer's Manual.

Notify the Com-plete system programmer.

This message is associated with Com-plete initialisation processing for VSAM. The startup parameters (VSAMBUFFERS keyword) indicated that Com-plete was to establish a local shared resource pool for VSAM files, and the VSAMFIX parameter specified that some components of the resource pool should be page fixed in real storage. At Com-plete initialisation time, there were insufficient free pages to accomodate the request.

Com-plete terminates normally with a return code of 8.

In response to this message

1. Make more real storage available to Com-plete by quiescing the system.

2. Eliminate the page fixing options specified in the VSAMFIX parameter.

3. Decrease the size of or eliminate the VSAM shared resource pool by changing the VSAMBUFFERS parameter.

4. Decrease other Com-plete storage requirements.

To reduce Com-plete main storage requirements:

1. Request fewer and/or smaller threads.

2. Reduce the size of the small-buffer pool.

3. Reduce the size of the TIBTAB by reducing the value specified for NOTIBS in the TIBSTART macro.

For information on how to make these modifications, refer to the Com-plete System Programmer's Manual.

Notify the Com-plete system programmer.
