z/OS MVS System Codes
SA38-0665-00

0B0

Explanation

The system could not recognize the I/O definition file (IODF) specified in the LOADxx parmlib member.

Note: If equals ('==') was specified as the IODF suffix in the LOADxx parmlib member, MVS™ uses the IODF suffix obtained from the hardware token in the Hardware System Area (HSA). If equals ('========') was specified as the IODF high-level qualifier in the LOADxx parmlib member, MVS uses the high-level qualifier obtained from the hardware token in the HSA. If the characters 'IODF' are not found, or the IODF suffix is not X'00' to X'FF', MVS will load wait state X'0B1' reason code X'00B'. MVS uses the same rules for determining its ability to use the IODF name explicitly specified in LOADxx.
The right-most four bytes of the program status word (PSW) have the following format:
xrr00www
where:
x
Irrelevant information.
rr
A hexadecimal reason code indicating the reason for the failure.
www
The wait state code.
The reason code (rr) is one of the following:
01
The input/output supervisor (IOS) section of the IODF is not compatible with the system code.
02
The allocation section of the IODF is not valid. The most likely reason for this is that the IODF was created by a system with a higher release level than the system that is attempting to use the IODF.

System action

The system enters nonrestartable wait state X'0B0'.

System programmer response

If the correct IODF is being used, it is likely that a recent release of the operating system has converted the IODF to a format not supported by the current release and service level. Search RETAIN® for an appropriate compatibility PTF to bring this system up to the required service level.

If the correct IODF is not being used, enter the correct IODF data set name in the LOADxx PARMLIB member. Ask the operator to REIPL the system.
