DFS2503W DYNAMIC action_type FAILED
FOR DATA SET NAME xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx
DATABASE NAME dbdname REASON CODE yyyyy

Explanation

Processing for the identified function failed for the database and data set name represented by dbdname and xxxxxxxx. The phrase WITHIN PSB psbname is added only if the PSB is known at the time of the allocation attempt. The phrase DATABASE NAME dbdname is issued in the message only if the data set is an IMS database. If a function for a dataset fails, a short form of the message showing the DDNAME and DATA SET xxxxxxxx will be issued instead.

The action_type can be one of the following:
  • ALLOCATION
  • DEALLOCATION

System action

Processing is terminated for the request.

If one area data set (ADS) of a multiple-area-data-set (MADS) area of a Fast Path DEDB fails allocation, the area is stopped and the status of the ADS is not changed in the RECON data set. If the failure occurs during emergency restart, the ADS is set to unavailable status and the other ADSs are recovered.

Programmer response

In most cases, the description of the reason code identifies the action to take before you can retry the request. Correct the error and retry the request.
