Explanation

In the message text, variable text refers to one of the following targets, depending on whether the IMS management of ACBs is enabled:
ACBLIB
An area name in the parameter list did not exist in the ACBLIB, or the names in the parameter list were not in the same sequence as the DBD data set statements.

This form of message text is the default.

CATALOG
An area name in the parameter list did not exist in the IMS catalog, or the area names in the parameter list were not in the same sequence as the database definition statements.

This form of message text is issued when the IMS management of ACBs is enabled in an IMS Catalog Definition exit routine (DFS3CDX0).

Programmer response

Correct the names in the parameter list or the sequence of the names.

Problem determination

Compare the area names that are supplied in the parameter list with the names and sequence in the database definition statements.
