System action
IMS issues an abend 3421 following message DFS3421X. IMS terminates abnormally.
Programmer response
If dynamic resource definition (DRD) is not enabled, check that IMS.MODBLKSx contains the correct control block modules, DFSSMB0x, DFSPDIRx, DFSDDIRx, and DFSRCTEx. If these checks do not indicate a problem, contact IBM® Software Support for assistance.
If DRD is enabled, and resource definitions are being imported from the IMS.MODBLKSx data set during a cold start, check that IMS.MODBLKSx contains the correct control block modules, DFSSMB0x, DFSPDIRx, DFSDDIRx, and DFSRCTEx. If resource definitions are being imported from an RDDS during a cold start, check that the correct RDDS is being used and that the RDDS has a complete set of resource definitions. If these checks do not indicate a problem, contact IBM Software Support for assistance.
