DFS3961I THE REQUESTED PST IS EITHER A SYSTEM PST OR A DPST THAT HAS NEVER BEEN USED

Explanation

The IMS Offline Dump Formatter DPST option found a PST to satisfy a request, but was unable to confirm its DPST/SYSPST status. If an unused DPST was selected, this condition is valid. But an invalid request for a system PST under the DPST formatting option might have caused this condition.

System action

The request is terminated, and DPST option formatting continues with the next request.

User response

Ensure that all DPST formatting requests are valid. You can format the requested PST as a SYSTEM PST. For assistance, see the IMS system programmer.
