DFS3253W WADS PROCESSING WARNING. FUNCTION = XX. REASON = YY.

Explanation

When Data Facility Storage Management Subsystem (DFSMS) opens WADS, DFSMS issues IEC messages in the job log. The DFS3253W message indicates that the IEC messages in the job log do not require further action.

The following table lists the possible values for function XX and the corresponding reason YY:

Function XX Reason YY Explanation
04 (OPEN) Contents of ACBERFLG

Opening the WADS produced an informational message. For more information about ACBERFLG, see z/OS: OPEN return and reason codes for VSAM macro instructions

The most common reason code for ACBERFLG when XX = 04 is x'74', which indicates that the data set was not closed properly. This happens, for example, when the log recovery utility (DFSULTR0) runs after an IMS abend because the WADS cannot be closed when IMS abends.
