IGZ0031S   A restart was not possible since the checkpoint record record-name was taken while a sort or merge was in progress.

Explanation

An attempt was made to use the restart facility of checkpoint/restart to resume execution of a job from a checkpoint taken by a COBOL program because of a rerun clause during a Sort/Merge operation. Only checkpoints taken by the sort product can be used to restart from a point within the Sort/Merge operation. The checkpoint record cannot be used for restart.

System action

The application was terminated.

Programmer response

Use a different checkpoint record. If no other checkpoint records exist, the job cannot be restarted.
