DFS4901E THE LOAD FOR DFSMDA MEMBER name FAILED FOR IMS CATALOG HLQ. REASON=reason_text
Explanation
When IMS attempted to access the IMS directory data sets of the IMS catalog, an error occurred when IMS attempted to retrieve the high-level qualifier of the IMS directory data sets from an IMSCATHLQ DFSMDA member.
- name
- The name of the IMSCATHLQ DFSMDA macro statement that defines the high-level qualifier of the
IMS directory data sets.
If the error occurred when the IMS Catalog Library Builder utility (DFS3LU00) was running, the name that is displayed in the message is the value that is specified on the IMSCATHLQ control statement in the utility JCL. The name that is specified on the IMSCATHLQ control statement must match the name that is specified on the DDNAME parameter of the IMSCATHLQ DFSMDA member that contains the HLQ of the IMS directory data sets.
If the error occurred when an application program attempted to access a GSAM database, the name that is displayed is the alias name of the IMS catalog with HLQ appended. IMS uses this value to retrieve the IMSCATHLQ DFSMDA member that defines the HLQ of the IMS directory data sets. The alias name is specified in either the CATALOG section of the DFSDFxxx PROCLIB member or in the DFS3CDX0 exit routine.
