DFS3288I INPUT LOG RECORD LENGTH ERROR - SEQ NUMBER = nnnnnnnn INPUT LOG SEQUENCE NUMBER ERROR - SEQ NUMBER = nnnnnnnn INPUT LOG CONTAINS RECORD GAPS - SEQ NUMBER = nnnnnnnn
Explanation
During the Log Recovery Utility (DFSULTR0) running PSB mode, an error was detected on the input log (IEFRDER).
System action
The first version of the message is issued when a log record is read that has a record length that is less than the minimum record length. The SEQ NUMBER value is the log record sequence number of the last valid record read. The utility processing is terminated.
The second version of the message is issued when a log record is read that has a sequence number that is less than the prior record sequence number. The SEQ NUMBER value is the log record sequence number of the last valid record read. The utility processing is terminated.
The third version of the message is issued when a log record is read that has a sequence number that is more than 1 greater than the prior record's sequence number. This indicates a gap in the log records. The SEQ NUMBER value is the log record sequence number of the last valid record read. The utility will continue to process, but the output report might be incomplete due to the gap in the input data.
Operator response
The message is issued for information purposes. If concatenated log input is used, verify that the logs are in the sequence that they were created. If OLDS and SLDS are mixed, there must not be any overlap in log record content. If the input is RLDS or any other log that does not include all records written to the OLDS, then the third version of the message is likely to be received. In this case the OLDS or SLDS should be used instead.
