DFS2598I (ccccffss) AREA=areaname DD=ddname UNEXPECTED MEDIA MANAGER MMCALL ERROR
Explanation
An unexpected Media Manager MMCALL error occurred because Media Manager used invalid control blocks. The variable ccccffss represents the Media Manager error return code used for problem determination.
System action
An error from an I/O read request is treated the same as an error from a physical read I/O. IMS blocks further access to the failing CI and records the CI-RBA in the second CI of the area. The data set remains open, but the error log (type X'24') is not produced. If the error resulted from an I/O request for update, IMS closes the data set and stops the area if the data set is the only one available in this area. An MVS SDUMP is taken to the SYS1.DUMP data set for problem determination.
Operator response
If the data set is closed but the area is not stopped, run the DEDB Area Data Set Create utility to recover the data set. If the area is stopped, run the Database Recovery utility to recover the area.
System programmer response
If the error persists and if the data set is needed, contact IBM® Software Support for additional analysis.
Programmer response
The application program receives status code AO if access to the failing CI is attempted. The CI can be accessed after the Database Recovery or DEDB Area Data Set Create utility is run.
