Media Manager return codes

z/OS DFSMSdfp Diagnosis
SC23-6863-00

When the media manager is invoked and errors are found or a termination routine is called, the media manager provides a return code to identify the nature of the failure.

The media manager provides a return code in register 15. It also puts this return code in the MMPRETCD field of the MMPB.

Return codes have the following format:
     ccccffss

      where:
      cccc is the return code
      ff identifies the module that detected the error
      ss is the status byte

The status byte in the ss field has the following meanings:

ss field Error Description
X'00' No error.
X'04' Warning.
X'08' Extent error.
X'0C' Logic error.
X'10' Permanent I/O error.
X'14' Error cannot be determined.

In combination with one of these status bytes, return codes in the cccc field indicate the following errors (the ff field value has been listed where this value is permanent):

ss cccc ff Error Description
00 0000 No errors.
04 0000 No errors. DIE exit is receiving control in SRB mode.
  0004 0A For MMCALL OP=RDWR VOLATILE=YES, device is not volatile cache or user does not have volatile cache token (MMIVCT=0). Normal I/O (without use of volatile cache) is done instead. The return code will be returned at the front end in MMPRETCD.
08 0010 The end of a CI is out of its extent.
  0014 Extent not found.
  0018 Extent not active.
  0420 Overlapping extents.
  0424 Invalid ending RBA.
  0428 Block size is too large for the device.
  042C Inconsistent CI sizes.
0C 0004 Two writes to the same RBA.
  0004 18 The master MMIB was not passed, or there was no MMRE chain, or the user storage was not passed in.
  0004 19 GETMAIN Failure.
  0008 Two reads to the same buffer.
  0008 19 PURGE Failure.
  000C 19 The master MMIB was not passed.
  000C An MMRE specifies multiple CIs to be sorted.
  0010 MMRE specifies output but MMIB specifies input only.
  0010 17 MMIB specifies READ only, on an update write request.
  0016 02 Format write requested for replicated indexes. A replicated index format write request is not valid.
  0016 03 Format write requested for replicated indexes. A replicated index format write request is not valid.
  0016 15 Format write requested for replicated indexes. A replicated index format write request is not valid.
  001C Load real address error. Buffers not fixed.
  001C 02 Extended format request not allowed.
  001C 03 Extended format request not allowed.
  0020 Starting RBA not on CI boundary—preformat only.
  0024 Insufficient storage for channel program because of media manager storage constraints, or invalid request element—starting RBA is greater than ending RBA specified in MMRE for MMCALL OP=FORMAT.
  0028 15 MMCALL OP=WRITE was specified with format write and VOLATILE=YES.
  0030 14 No volatile cache token provided for MMCAL OP=COMMIT.
Note: Volatile cache token is ignored by OP=DISCARD.
  0034 14 MMIB not pointing to an EDB.
  0038 14 Error in media manager building of AOMSERV parameter list for MMCALL OP=COMMIT or OP=DISCARD.
  003C 14 Error in media manager building of extent address list for MMCALL OP=COMMIT or OP=DISCARD.
  0040 The real buffer address list contains addresses that are zeros.
  0044 The real buffer address list contains addresses that are not at 4K-byte boundaries.
  0048 Real buffer address list is provided for CIs that are not n*4K bytes.
  0400 Getmain error for LPMB.
  0408 Insufficient storage supplied for LPMB.
  0410 Getmain error for EDB.
  0418 Insufficient storage supplied for EDB.
  0434 The parameter list is incomplete.
  0438 40 Invalid extended format request.
  043C 40 Stripe number mismatch.
  0440 40 Invalid number of stripes.
  0444 40 Invalid device block specified for the extended format data set.
10 0010 I/O prevented.
  0020 11 Permanent I/O error.
  0030 14 Extent address list missing for MMCALL OP=COMMIT or OP=DISCARD.
  0034 14 Volatile cache token has become invalid—data in cache may be lost before MMCALL OP=COMMIT request occurs.
  0038 14 Invalid track format error—data set destroyed or logic error in caller of media manager.
  003C 14 Unable to destage data for MMCALL OP=COMMIT.
  0040 14 MMCALL OP=COMMIT or OP=DISCARD cannot be done because control unit is not volatile cache.
  0040 0C Hardware pad errors, detected on extended format data set only.
  0050 11 Hardware errors caused records to be skipped for the read I/O.
  0050 0C RBN errors detected in MMRE chain.
  0410 40 AOM failed to obtain volatile token because of AOM/hardware errors.
14 0030 Error cannot be determined.
  0034 Indeterminate error—I/O has been started.
Note: The cccc field X'00xx' indicates MMCALL or MMCNVT requests.

The ff field of the return code identifies the module that detected the error.
