ICE800I
BLOCKSET TECHNIQUE COULD NOT BE USED - REASON CODE IS rsn

Explanation

DFSORT's most efficient technique, Blockset, could not be used for this application. rsn is the reason code associated with the error. The reason code helps you determine the specific cause of the error. Reason code values (rsn) are as follows:
1
A critical message was issued.
5
BDAM was indicated in the SORTIN DD statement.
6
BDAM was indicated in the SORTIN data set label.
7
BDAM was indicated in the SORTOUT DD statement.
10
A DUMMY or spool SORTWKdd data set was specified.
12
An attempt to OPEN a data set caused a system error.
16
The SORTIN or SORTOUT data set resided on an unsupported device.
17
A SORTWKdd data set resided on an unsupported device (such as tape).
22
ASCII tapes had the following parameters:

(LABEL=AL or OPTCD=Q) and RECFM=D and BUFOFF[=L

or

(LABEL=AL or OPTCD=Q) and RECFM[=D and BUFOFF[=0.

23
An attempt to read the DSCB for the SORTIN data set caused an error.
24
An attempt to read the DSCB for the SORTOUT data set caused an error.
28
An E18 or E38 user exit was specified with a tape SORTIN(nn) data set.
47
The NOBLKSET option was specified.
48
The CKPT run-time option and the IGNCKPT=NO installation option were specified.
58
Dynamic tape SORTWKdd data sets were requested.
63
Too many control fields were specified or control fields were too large.
64
Too many control fields were specified or control fields were too large.
65
A SORTWKdd data set was not present.
66
An INREC statement was specified and EFS01 was in effect.
74
An E61 user exit was specified and VLSHRT was in effect.
75
A MODS statement Exx operand had SYSIN in the third parameter or T or S in the fourth parameter (that is, dynamic link-editing was requested.).
Note: Blockset cannot be used to process BDAM data sets.

System action

None.

Programmer response

None. However, for improved performance, correct the situation indicated by the reason code (rsn) so Blockset can be used.
