DSNJ219I csect-name OPEN ERROR, DDNAME=xxxxxxxx

Explanation

An error occurred when the CSECT 'csect-name' tried to open a data set named 'xxxxxxxx'.

This error can be caused by a number of different conditions. The most probable conditions are:
  1. The ddname of the SYSPRINT, SYSIN, or SYSUT1 data set was not specified in the user's job control language (JCL).
  2. The Db2 subsystem is currently executing.
  3. The bootstrap data set (BSDS) was allocated by another job with a disposition (DISP) that conflicts with the DISP specified in the user's JCL.
  4. The data set associated with 'xxxxxxxx' is already open, possibly due to an earlier system abend.
  5. The user is not authorized to access the data set associated with 'xxxxxxxx'
  6. Insufficient virtual storage is available to perform the OPEN command.
  7. The catalog indicates that the data set associated with 'xxxxxxxx' has an invalid physical record size.

System action

The current utility is terminated.

Db2 writes this message to the SYSPRINT data set, not to a console.

User response

The user's action depends on the condition that caused the OPEN error. The following is a list of appropriate actions corresponding to the conditions listed in the explanation:
  1. Provide the missing DD statements, and then rerun the utility.
  2. Wait until the Db2 subsystem is inactive before running the utility again because the log utility cannot execute while the Db2 subsystem is active.
  3. Correct the disposition conflict and then rerun the utility.
  4. Submit an access method services (IDCAMS) VERIFY job against the data set associated with 'xxxxxxxx'. Rerun the log utility job.
  5. In the case of an authorization failure, a separate message is usually generated from the authorization facility (RACF®, for example). Investigate the authorization messages and obtain the proper authorization before running the utility again.
  6. Insufficient virtual storage is usually accompanied by a separate error from the MVS operating system. Increase the REGION size on the JCL job step and rerun the utility.
  7. Contact the system programmer.
