IEF321I
INVALID SEGMENT

Explanation

In an input data set, a variable record extension (VRE) segment descriptor word is incorrect. For example, a beginning segment occurred before the end segment of the last logical record.

System action

The External Writer closed its output data set and stopped itself.

System programmer response

Probable user error. Make sure the segment descriptor words in the input data set are being created correctly. Then execute the job step again.

Obtain the program listing for the job. Look at the messages in the job log. If the JOB statement did not specify MSGLEVEL=(1,1), specify it and run the job again.

If the problem recurs and if the program is not in error, search problem reporting data bases for a fix for the problem. If no fix exists, contact the IBM® Support Center.
