DFS1920I PARAMETER VALUE INVALID, xxxxxxxx=yyyyyyyyzzzzz

Explanation

An invalid parameter was found.

In the message text:
xxxxxxxx
Parameter keyword (First 8 characters)
yyyyyyyy
Parameter value (First 8 characters)
zzzzz
ABEND, if an invalid value for this parameter causes abend 0083 during initialization.

IMS execution parameters can be specified with JCL or with the DFSPBxxx or DFSDCxxx members. The JCL specified parameters override any parameters specified with DFSPBxxx or DFSDCxxx, resulting in the final execution parameters. Message DFS1920I results when values of the final parameters do not meet the system definition requirements.

With some parameters, this error results in abend 0083 after all the final parameters have been evaluated. The value zzzzz=ABEND identifies the parameters with the unrecoverable error.

System action

User abend 0083 results when ABEND appears in at least one DFS1920I message. If the abend does not occur, all parameters identified by DFS1920I receive their default values.

Programmer response

Determine if the system should continue operating with the default value. If not, shut down IMS and rerun the system with a corrected parameter.
