Explanation

The virtual storage access method (VSAM) catalog locate function issued against the base cluster or alternate index failed. Message IDC3009I precedes this message and gives the catalog return code. Refer to that message for an explanation of the code.

The locate failure may have been against the named object or an object associated with the named object.

In the message text:
dsname
The data set name specified by the INFILE/INDATASET or OUTFILE/OUTDATASET parameter.
