FABP0973W NO POINTER TO THIS OVERFLOW LOGICAL RECORD

Edit online

Explanation

No direct-address pointer points to the logical record in the overflow data set.

If an application program deleted segment of the HISAM database, the delete flag is not set by DL/I and the space of the deleted segment remains in the database. Therefore, this message is issued for the normal database, and the message can be ignored. However, it is suggested to reorganize the database if a lot of the messages are issued.

If no application program deletes a segment of the HISAM database, the HISAM database is damaged.

System action

Processing continues.

User response

If it is damaged, repair the database, and rerun the HD Pointer Checker job.

Problem determination
