EB693 INVALID OR MISSING INITIALIZATION RECORD

Explanation
An EDS that had successfully been opened for input did not contain a valid initialization record. If the issuing program supports multiple data stores, this message will be followed by message EB930, which identifies the data set name of the EDS to which this message applies. 

System action
The issuing program terminates, continues without the EDS, or continues with restricted use of the EDS. 

User response
You may have failed to properly initialize the EDS. If you determine that the EDS is empty, initialize the EDS using the KEBINIT utility. However, this message may also be the result of inappropriate use of VSAM utilities to alter EDS content, or of specification of a VSAM cluster that is not a valid EDS. If you are unable to resolve this problem, contact IBM Software Support for assistance.
