You can use the IRRDBU00 utility for some diagnosis functions. Because this utility reads every profile in the RACF® database, it also validates such profile data as lengths and count fields that are needed to read each profile successfully.

This validation can be used to help identify a profile in error. If IRRDBU00 encounters a profile in error, it might issue message IRR67092. This message contains an ICHEINTY return and reason code and also the entry name of the profile being processed.

If a profile abends or ends in another fashion without receiving this message, you might also be able to determine the profile in error. To do this, look in the output data set (OUTDD) and find the last profile (at the bottom), that was unloaded. It is likely that this profile is okay. However, the next profile in the database (in the same class) could possibly be the profile in error, if indeed a bad profile is causing the utility to end.

The next profile in the database can be found by examining the output of an IRRUT200 utility run (specifically, INDEX FORMAT), or by using the block update command (BLKUPD) to examine an online database.
