IEF462I
jobname [procstep] stepname ddname[+ xxx] - NO AVAILABLE OFFLINE DEVICES ELIGIBLE FOR ALLOCATION

Explanation

No available offline devices were eligible for the allocation request. The system could not enter Recovery Allocation (message IEF238D) because there were no offline units within the specified UNIT that could be brought online.

Possible reasons for this error are that the allocation request specified an incorrect volume serial, or that the volume serial is valid but mounted on a device that is not within the specified UNIT name.

In the message text:
jobname
The name of the job.
procstep
The name of the step in the procedure.
stepname
The name of the job step.
ddname
The name of the DD statement.
+ xxx
The relative position of a data set within a concatenation of data sets, including all data sets implicitly concatenated (through GDG ALL or OPTCD=B requests). See z/OS MVS JCL User's Guide for more information about GDG ALL or OPTCD=B requests when a data set is used within a set of concatenated data sets. The first data set of a concatenation can be +000, but the value +000 is never shown.

System action

The system ends the job.

Programmer response

Check the UNIT and VOLSER parameters to make sure that they are correct. If necessary, correct them. Resubmit the job.
