IDC2893I INVALID PARAMETER SPECIFIED FOR THE RECOVERY OPTION
Explanation
The RECOVERY parameter has been specified for a DELETE command and a virtual storage access method (VSAM) volume data set (VVDS) is not to be deleted, or the GENERATIONDATAGROUP parameter has not been specified. The RECOVERY parameter is only valid for integrated catalog facility (ICF) catalogs and VSAM volume data sets and generation data groups (GDG).
System action
The system does not delete the entry. The remaining entries, if any, are deleted.
System programmer response
If the error recurs and 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. Provide the JCL and the SYSOUT output for the job.
Programmer response
Correct the parameters specified. If RECOVERY is specified for a GDG, the GENERATIONDATAGROUP parameter must be specified. Run the job again.
