FABP1071E POINTERS THAT POINT BEYOND EOF WERE DETECTED. THE DATASET SIZE IS X'xxxxxxxx'.

Explanation

The database data set or the image copy data set is damaged. The physical pointers that point beyond the End Of File (EOF) of the database data set were detected.

The size of the data set is xxxxxxxx bytes in hexadecimal. The values of the pointers are beyond xxxxxxxx.

If the size of the data set is between 4 GB and 8 GB, the value of the data set size is expressed by incrementing the last bit by 1. For example, if the data set size is 4.5 GB, the value is printed as X'20000001'.

The following conditions might cause this error:
  • Physical pointers are damaged.
  • The database data set or the image copy data set has an incorrect EOF.

System action

Processing continues.

User response

Repair the database. If the database data set or the image copy data set has an incorrect EOF, you can fix the error by reorganizing the database. After repairing the database, rerun the HD Pointer Checker job.
