DFS0476A SPOOL DATASET ABEND -- DDNAME = xxxxxxxx
Explanation
A permanent I/O error occurred during OPEN, CLOSE, or EOV processing and an IMS DCB abnormal termination exit received control. In the message text, xxxxxxxx is the ddname being processed at the time of the abend. z/OS® also issues a message to describe the abend; the z/OS console log contains this message related to this ddname.
System action
IMS ignores the abend and switches to the next available spool data set.
Programmer response
Ensure that there is a spool data set available. If there is no spool data set available, schedule the spool print utility to unload the spool data sets. Additionally, in an XRF environment, consider issuing a takeover and allocating new spool data sets. As long as there is no spool data set available, IMS queues all messages destined to the spool LTERM to the message queue. This problem can lead to an abend 0758.
