ICP505A IOCS IS TOO LARGE FOR IOCP TO WRITE

Explanation

The card-image file that IOCP read from the Support Element hard disk or disassembled from an IOCDS contains too many records for IOCP to write to the Support Element hard disk. The maximum size of a card-image file is 256020 cards, and 20 records are reserved for IOCP messages.

System action

IOCP waits for an operator response.

Operator response

For IOCP function Build data set, you can reduce the size of the card-image file by doing one or more of the following actions:

  • Remove comment cards from the IOCS.
  • Consolidate IOCP statements that are continued across multiple cards onto a minimum number of cards.
  • Combine individual IODEVICE statements that attach to the same control unit or units by using common UNIT and MODEL keyword values. Do not combine IODEVICE statements if they have conflicting keyword values.

If the card-image file size cannot be sufficiently reduced, contact your service representative or perform the IOCP function from z/OS®, z/VM®, or z/VSE® if possible.

For IOCP function Disassemble data set, contact your service representative.
