DFS3912W IMS DUMP FORMAT CONTROL PARAMETER ERROR, cccccccc

Explanation

IMS Offline Dump Formatter initialization (DFSOFMD0) did not recognize or process option cccccccc in the memory dump format control data set.

System action

DFSOFMD0 continues scanning the format options, ignoring the invalid options. If more than 3 invalid options are detected, DFSOFMD0 closes the memory dump format control data set and processes any valid options received.

User response

Correct the invalid options by ensuring that:
  • The option is correctly spelled.
  • The option has only one qualifier (although the option can be repeated.)

Then rerun the memory dump formatting job for these options. This message is followed by message DFS3913I, which indicates whether IMS offline formatting will continue.
