User response

Check the address that is pointed to by the SDEP segment. If the address is in the RAA portion or outside of the DEDB area, correct the error and rerun the job.

If you received this message after extending the IOVF portion with the FPO OAE utility, this message might not indicate a problem. When you use the OAE utility to extend the IOVF portion of a DEDB area, the utility does not update the SDEP pointer value of each segment. Therefore, after the IOVF extension, some SDEP pointers might remain pointing to the address in the extended IOVF portion that was formerly in the SDEP portion. If you run the OPC utility against such a DEDB and the utility detects SDEP pointers pointing to the IOVF portion, OPC issues pointer error messages. However, you can ignore such pointer error messages because such pointers do not represent problems. By using the SDEP_PTRIOVF_MSGLVL keyword, you can suppress such pointer error messages or change them to informational messages (messages with the I suffix). For more information about the SDEP_PTRIOVF_MSGLVL keyword, see SDEP_PTRIOVF_MSGLVL keyword.
