DFS3289A LOG RECORD SEQUENCE ERROR IN INPUT LOG-nnnnnnnn mmmmmmmm dddddddd

Explanation

While reading the input log data set associated with DDNAME dddddddd, Batch Backout found a log record that was out of sequence. The log record with sequence number nnnnnnnn was expected. The log record with sequence number mmmmmmmm was found in its place. The error can be caused by one of the following:
  • The log data sets are not in the correct order in the JCL.
  • The log data set has invalid data.
  • A user-written program modified the log.

System action

Batch Backout terminates with condition code 108 before any backout is attempted.

Programmer response

Make sure the order of the log data sets in the JCL is correct. If the order is right, correct the log data set identified in the message by using DUP mode of the Log Recovery utility; then rerun the job.

If you are confident that the input log contains all the records needed by Batch Backout, in the correct order, you can use the BYPASS SEQVER statement to skip the sequence check.
