DFS2993E NON-DASD DATA SET. DEVICE CLASS=X'devclass' PART=partname DSN=dsname
Explanation
The data set dsname, which is one of the data sets of the HALDB partition partname, is not a DASD data set. This data set was being used by a HALDB online reorganization or by the IMS Catalog Populate utility (DFS3PU00) to load the IMS catalog. (The device class reported by the internally executed DEVTYPE macro instruction is devclass (hexadecimal) rather than X'20'.) This is inconsistent with its use as part of a database.
System action
If this error occurred in starting the reorganization, then the reorganization is not started.
If this error occurred while running the Catalog Populate utility to load the catalog, the catalog is not loaded, message DFS4483E is written, and the utility ends with return code 12.
In any of these cases, one or more of the required data sets might have been created.
Programmer response
Change the data set dsname to refer to a DASD data set that can be used for a HALDB.
After the corrections are complete, restart the HALDB online reorganization or rerun the DFS3PU00 utility, whichever was running at the time of the error.
