ICP404I LEVEL Ax IOCDS HAS INVALID FORMAT OR DIRECTORY

Explanation

IOCP has read part of an IOCDS into storage from the hard disk and compared the member names and sector sizes in the directory record and the IOCDS format against the expected values. Either the IOCDS format or directory does not match the expected values.

This situation occurs when the ICP IOCP tries to read an IOCDS that was written by a version of IOCP other than ICP (for example, IYPIOCP for z/OS® and VSE and program option IYP for VM).

System action

IOCP ends the read operation.

Programmer response

Ensure that you have run the correct version of IOCP. Rerun the job. If the problem occurs again, notify the system programmer.
