DFS2866W PERMANENT WRITE ERROR ON EXTERNAL TRACE DATA SET xxxxxxxx.

Explanation

A permanent write error has occurred on the data set listed. An operating system error should have been issued before receiving this message.

System action

If disk data sets are used, IMS switches to the remaining disk and continues. If no disks are available or if tape is used, IMS stops using the external trace facility. The operator is asked if IMS trace tables are to be written to the OLDS. If the failing data set cannot be closed and deallocated, the data set is unusable until IMS is restarted.
