This message is the first in a group of messages that VTAM® issues in response to a major node activation or a MODIFY TABLE command when the activation of table tablename failed.

 IST979I BUILD FAILED FOR TABLE tablename
 IST523I REASON = reason
[IST323I LABEL = labelname – MACRO = macrotype – KEYWORD = keyword]

IST979I

• tablename is the name of the table that failed and is a model name table, an associated LU table, or a message flooding table.

IST523I

• reason indicates the cause of the failure.
  • Most of the reasons involve macro coding errors, which may show up at this time because the tables are not pre-assembled.
  • Other errors such as insufficient storage and open failures cause activation to fail even though there are no errors in the table definition.
  reason can be one of the following:

  DUPLICATE ENTRY LABEL

  The same label appears on more than one table entry macro (MDLENT or ASLENT) in the table.

  DUPLICATE PARAMETER

  A valid keyword has been coded multiple times on a single macro.

  DUPLICATE PLU VALUE

  The same PLU name appears on more than one PLU subentry macro (MDLPLU or ASLPLU) following a single entry macro (MDLENT or ASLENT).

  EXTRA VALUE

  Multiple values were coded on a keyword that does not allow multiple values.

  INSUFFICIENT STORAGE

  VTAM was unable to allocate storage for the table.

  INVALID LABEL

  The label on the macro is invalid or a MDLENT or ASLENT macro was coded without a label.

  INVALID MACRO

  The resource definition contains an invalid macro or multiple MDLTAB or ASLTAB macros.

  INVALID PARAMETER

  The macro has an invalid keyword.

  INVALID VALUE

  The keyword has an invalid value coded.

  LIST VALUE **** IS IN CIRCULAR LIST OR MULTIPLE LISTS

  The LIST keyword on a FLDENT macro in the message flooding table referred to a message that was in more than one list.

  LIST VALUE **** WAS NOT FOUND

  The LIST keyword on a FLDENT macro in the message flooding table referenced a message that was not also in the table.

  MACRO SEQUENCE ERROR

  The second macro in the resource definition is either MDLPLU or ASLPLU. These macros must be preceded by a table entry macro (MDLENT or ASLENT).

  MISSING PLU PARAMETER

  A MDLPLU or ASLPLU macro has been coded without the PLU keyword.

  OPEN FOR VTAM DATA SET SYS1.VTAMLST FAILED

  VTAM could not open the member of the data set containing the table.

  SYNTAX ERROR

  A keyword on a macro has a syntax error.

  TABLE CONTAINS NO USEFUL INFORMATION

  The table is logically empty.

  • For a model name table, VTAM could not find a MDLENT or MDLPLU macro with a valid MODEL keyword value.
  • For an associated LU table, VTAM could not find an ASLENT or ASLPLU macro with a valid PRINTER1 or PRINTER2 keyword value.
  • For a message flooding table, VTAM could not find a FLDENT macro with a valid MESSAGE keyword value.

  TABLE SIZE OF X'xxxxxxxx' IS INVALID

  The table has exceeded the limitation of 16 megabytes (hexadecimal 00FFFFFF).
