DFS4143E AN EMPTY INPUT FILE TO UTILITY DFSKJOB0 WAS FOUND; CHECK THAT IMS SYSTEM STAGE 1 FAILED

Explanation

The file referenced by the INFILE DD statement should contain the JCL stream created by a prior successful run of a IMS System Stage 1; however, this file is empty. It might be invalid for one of the following reasons:
  • The IMS System Stage 1 step did not complete successfully.
  • The INFILE DD statement for DFSKJOB0 does not reference the data set containing the output from IMS System Stage 1.

System action

The utility fails with return code 8.

Programmer response

Ensure that IMS System Stage 1 runs successfully and that the INFILE DD references the data set containing the output from IMS System Stage 1.
