DFS0735I SAF ACCESS FAILED-Rnn dbdname-ddname RETURN CODE=nnn. REASON CODE=nnnn. module-name.

Explanation

The access authorization process for a VSAM or Media Manager data set encountered an error and failed. Rnn is the IMS reason for the failure. dbdname-ddname are the DBD or Media Manager area name and ddname of the data set being checked. RC=nnn REASON CODE=nnn are the return and reason code associated with the failure. module-name is the name of the module that failed.

The reason code indicates the type of failure that occurred:
Code (nnn)
Meaning
R01
The database, dbdname, could not be opened because IMS was not allowed to access the data set for dbdname-ddname at the required level.
R02
The database, dbdname, could not be opened because IMS was not allowed to access the data set association block (DSAB) for ddname. See the error return code from the z/OS macro GETDSAB that was issued with ddname.
R03
The database, dbdname, could not be opened because DFP Catalog Management encountered an error accessing the catalog for the data set. The name of the Catalog Management module that found the error is module-name.

System action
