IC80370: SERVER CAN CRASH DURING CHECKOUT LIBVOLUME

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Server can crash during checkout libvolume if its parses a file
  which should contain
  a list of volumes, but instead contains other data such as ;
  
  ANR2034E SELECT: NO MATCH FOUND USING THIS CRITERIA
  
  This is because a select command was run before it, to generate
  a file, that is then parsed
  to the checkout linvol command, but the select returns no
  volumes to be processed ,and produces ANR2034E error.
  
  
  pvr mms trace shows symptoms when C:\vols.list is output from a
  select command.

  you can see:
  OutVol =  ANR2034E SELECT: NO MATCH FOUND USING THIS CRITERIA.
  and
  InVol = ANR2034E SELECT: NO MATCH FOUND USING THIS CRITERIA.
  
  which are clearly not volume names.
  
  This has also been seen when file contains:
  
  ANR2004E Missing value for keyword parameter - ORDER.
