DFS3454I I/O ERROR READING RESIDENT DIRECTORY ($$IMSDIR) ddname {-nn}

Explanation

An I/O error occurred while the /MODIFY COMMIT or INITIATE OLC PHASE(COMMIT) command was reading the resident directory ($$IMSDIR) member from the inactive FORMAT library. If the error occurred on a FORMAT library that has concatenated data sets, nn indicates on which of the concatenated data sets the error was received. ddname is the name of the DD statement for the library for which the I/O error occurred.

System action

The command is ignored.

Programmer response

Recreate the resident directory ($$IMSDIR) on the inactive FORMAT library. Copy the $$IMSDIR member from the active FORMAT library to the inactive data set, and the updates then reapplied, using the MFS Service utility.
