DFS2994E IDCAMS RETURN CODE returncode CREATING A VSAM DATA SET. PART=partname DSN=dsname

Explanation

IMS tried to create the VSAM data set dsname for the HALDB partition partname as part of either:
  • Starting a HALDB online reorganization for the partition.
  • Loading the IMS catalog

Access Method Services (IDCAMS) gave a return code of returncode.

System action

The message, if any, produced by IDCAMS was displayed before this message.

For return code 4, the data set is assumed to have been created. In this case, none of the following actions apply, and processing continues.

If this error occurred in starting the reorganization, then the reorganization is not started, but the partition remains accessible with the original active set of data sets -- either the A-through-J and X or the M-through-V and Y data sets.

If this error occurred while loading the IMS catalog with the IMS Catalog Populate utility (DFS3PU00), the IMS catalog is not loaded, message DFS4483E is written, and the utility ends with return code 12.

In any of these cases, if the data sets were to be created automatically, one or more of the data sets might have been created.

Programmer response

See the z/OS® MVS System Messages Vol 6 (GOS - IEA) (SA22-7636) to determine the cause of the error, and follow any recommended actions.

Then if the error was detected in processing the INITIATE OLREORG command, reissue the command for partition partname.

If this error occurred while loading the IMS catalog with the DFS3PU00 utility, after the error is corrected rerun the DFS3PU00 utility.
