DFS3438 RESERVED INDEX AREA IN MFS BUFFER POOL TOO SMALL.

Explanation

The area in the message format buffer pool (MFBP) reserved during IMS initialization for increasing the two indexes used by the MFBP manager is not large enough to accommodate the increased PDS directory index resulting from the /MODIFY PREPARE or INITIATE OLC PHASE(PREPARE) command.

System action

The command is ignored.

Programmer response

Either increase the reserved area in the MFBP at the next IMS restart, or reduce the requirements to increase the PDS directory index. The PDS directory index contains one 12-byte entry per format library directory block. The reserved area is specified as an EXEC parameter (FBPR=) in the IMS procedure. The additional space requirement can be calculated as follows:

(12 x (1 + number of additional MFS format
                                 blocks/10))
plus
(14 x (number of new $$IMSDIR entries))
