DFHFC0973 applid Dynamic deallocation of {RLS | Non-RLS} file filename failed. Return code - X'rrrr',X'cccc' in module module.

Explanation

While closing file filename, CICS file control issued the MVS macro, DYNALLOC, to dynamically deallocate the file. Deallocation failed with the MVS return code, cccc. rrrr is the return code in register 15.

System action

CICS continues with the file closed, but still allocated.

Message DFHME0116, which contains the symptom string for this problem, is produced.

User response

If you change the DSNAME in the resource definition, and then reopen the file in the same CICS run, CICS may open the original data set. For an explanation of the MVS return code, refer to the z/OS MVS Programming: Authorized Assembler Services Guide.
