Codes
Explanation
4
An I/O error occurred while trying to access a resource definition data set (RDDS).
8
An error occurred trying to obtain a 64-bit buffer.
12
None of the RDDSs that you defined contain exported data.
32
An error occurred trying to read the resource definitions from the IMSRSC repository.
40
All resource and descriptor definitions were imported, but one or more resources or descriptors could not be initialized due to an error in the definition. You had specified IMPORTERR=ABORT in the DFSDFxxx PROCLIB member.
44
No resources were imported from the IMSRSC repository for one of these reasons:
  • The repository is empty and AUTOIMPORT=REPO was specified. The IMS cold start continues with no resources imported.
  • There was an error processing resource definitions read from the IMSRSC repository.

Action is taken based on IMPORTERR= specification.

System action

If an error occurred trying to access a system resource definition data set and you had RDDSERR=ABORT specified in the DFSDFxxx PROCLIB member, IMS terminates with a 3368 abend.

If IMS detected an error with a resource or descriptor definition and you had IMPORTERR=ABORT specified in the DFSDFxxx PROCLIB member, IMS terminates with a 3397 abend.

If the error occurred when trying to read the resource definitions from the IMSRSC repository, see the DFS4401E message issued before this message for details on the error. If you had REPOERR=ABORT specified in the DFSDFxxx PROCLIB member, IMS terminates with a 3368 abend.

To identify resources that could not be initialized because of any errors in definition, check any DFS3423E messages that were issued before this message.

To identify the cause of the repository error, check the DFS4401E message issued before this message.
