IFC178I    RECORD IGNORED; logical unit READ DIRECT ERROR

Explanation

(VSE) A permanent I/O error has occurred on the specified data set. EREP has ignored one or more records.

System action

Processing continues. The physical record that caused the error is ignored.

Programmer response

Move the volume containing the data set to another device or move the data set to another volume, to determine if the problem is caused by a hardware malfunction. If the message does not recur, there probably is a hardware error on the device (or volume) originally used. If the error persists, execute a utility to obtain a dump of the data set on which the error occurred. If the error occurs on SYSREC, re-IPL and issue SET RF=CREATE to reinitialize the data set.

Attention: Move the suspect volume only once to ascertain a fault. Indiscriminate mounting and demounting of the disk pack can cause the destruction of packs and drives.
