DFS0437I CARD nnn, ERROR IN PARAMETER mmm
Explanation
The nth statement in the buffer pool parameter data set has an error in the mth parameter. For an online system, this error occurs if system definition does not include the DBD. For a batch job, this error occurs if the DBD is not generated within the PSB being used. This error can also occur if invalid parameters are on the following statements:
- CFNAMES
- IOBF
- DBD
- OPTIONS
- VSRBF or VSAM buffer pool definition
- RESVPOOL
- LOCKTIME
- FFROLR
System action
The parameter is ignored, and processing continues.
In the buffer pool parameter data set, if the database parameter is specified with a data set number of A to J, L or X for HALDB but the database is a NON HALDB, the system issues this message; the allocation does not occur. If the database is later converted to HALDB, then the allocations for this entry become live as soon as the database is started (without recycling IMS). The same occurs if you have a data set number 1 and are converting from HALDB to NON HALDB.
Programmer response
The parameter has been ignored. Correct the control statement, and resubmit the job. See the IMS system definition information for parameter formats.
