DFS984I UNABLE TO OPEN DATA BASE xxxxxxxx, PROGRAM xxxxxxxx FOR BACKOUT.
Explanation
Emergency restart was unable to open a data set for backout processing.
System action
The database and the program are stopped and normal processing continues.
Operator response
(master terminal) After database recovery or backout, or both, are complete, the user should start the database and the program with the appropriate master terminal commands.
Programmer response
Check the DD statement for the database involved and make certain it is online. If the JCL is correct, the failure that prompted the emergency restart might have damaged the database. If so, follow the programmer response for message DFS983I. If this is not the case, run the Database Backout utility specifying the program indicated in the error message and the same tapes used for input to the emergency restart.
