DFS3585W STOW stow function FAILED. MEMBER NAME = member name RETURN CODE = 04

Explanation

One of the following problems occurred:
  • STOW ADD return code is greater than 4.
  • A return code greater than 8 was returned from a STOW REPLACE after a STOW ADD returned a return code of 4.
  • STOW REPLACE return code is greater than 8.
  • STOW DELETE return code is greater than 8.

Return Code 04 is a Sort/Split utility return code, not a return code from STOW.

System action

Stop processing this resource type. The Sort/Split utility does not sort nor write any further resource types. However, the utility continues to read the resource types and verify the read counts. A report is generated.
