IDC21815I   ARCUTIL NOT CALLED. DATA CONTROL BLOCK ADDRESS IS INVALID

Explanation

The address of the output data set's data control block (DCB) cannot be passed to ARCUTIL, which builds the records for migrated data sets, backup versions, and capacity planning information. The severity is 8.

System action

Processing associated with ARCUTIL is bypassed.

Operator response

The output data set's I/O is being controlled by the user. If "M", "B", "C", or "T" records are required, IDCAMS must open the output data set so that the DCB can be passed to ARCUTIL.

Programmer response

If the error recurs and the program is not in error, look at the messages in the job log for more information. Search problem reporting data bases for a fix for the problem. If no fix exists, contact the IBM® Support Center. Provide the JCL, the SYSOUT output for the job, and printed output and output data sets related to the problem.
