Some reason codes may appear in messages associated with abends 13F, 23F, 33F, 43F, and 53F. Abend codes are indicated by an 'S' in the following table. For more detailed information about the IHJxxxx reason codes see z/OS MVS System Messages, Vol 1 (ABA-AOM), z/OS MVS System Messages, Vol 2 (ARC-ASA), z/OS MVS System Messages, Vol 3 (ASB-BPX), z/OS MVS System Messages, Vol 4 (CBD-DMO), z/OS MVS System Messages, Vol 5 (EDG-GFS), z/OS MVS System Messages, Vol 6 (GOS-IEA), z/OS MVS System Messages, Vol 7 (IEB-IEE), z/OS MVS System Messages, Vol 8 (IEF-IGD), z/OS MVS System Messages, Vol 9 (IGF-IWM), and z/OS MVS System Messages, Vol 10 (IXC-IZP). Also see z/OS MVS System Codes for more information about system abend codes.

Some reason code programmer responses are "This is probably an error in checkpoint/restart record management". For each of them, the value and the fact that it represents an error in system logic is part of the programming interface. The nature of the error is not part of the interface.

Programmer Response: Ensure that the PCLINK stack is empty.

014 08 A WTOR macro instruction was issued prior to the CHKPT macro, and a reply had not been received.

Programmer Response: Issue a WAIT macro instruction after the WTOR macro instruction, or a DOM macro instruction for any outstanding WTORs before the CHKPT macro instruction.

015 08 An incorrect checkpoint identification length or format was encountered.

Programmer Response: When supplying a checkpoint identification, ensure that the length and format are correct.

080 S13F A subsystem data set was made DUMMY at restart. This usually refers to a spooled data set.

Programmer Response: Do not make subsystem data sets DUMMY.

081 S13F The checkpoint job or step specified ADDRSPC=REAL(V=R) and the restarting job or step did not, or vice versa.

Programmer Response: Ensure that the V=R status of both the checkpoint and restarting job or step are the same. That is, if ADDRSPC=REAL was specified at checkpoint time, it can only be specified (and must be specified) at restart time.

082 S13F The TCAM control program was not active at restart, but a TCAM DCB was open at checkpoint.

Programmer Response: Ensure that the TCAM control program region is active and is large enough to add control blocks.

Programmer Response: Locate the problem and correct it.

093 14 An internal parameter list in an MVS supervisor call is incorrect.

Programmer Response: This is probably an error in the checkpoint/restart MVS supervisor routine. Contact your software support personnel.

Programmer Response: If the upgrade path can be restored to its condition at checkpoint, the restart may be resubmitted.

195 S13F, 0C Insufficient storage is available for a VSAM restart.

Programmer Response: Increase the available storage.

196 S13F The catalog for one or more VSAM data sets has been updated, indicating that another job successfully processed the data set after the checkpoint was taken. Restart cannot restore the data set to its checkpoint status.

Programmer Response: Override the condition, and allow restart by coding AMP='CROPS=NCK’ in the DD statement for the data set. Be aware, however, that changes might have been made to the data between the time the checkpoint was taken and when restart is attempted. A data set that has been extended to span volumes since the checkpoint was taken cannot be restarted.

The error is for VSAM only. For more information, see messages IEC161I or IEC252I, if issued.

197 S13F A restart is not allowed for control block update facility (CBUF) processing.

Programmer Response: An error occurred while checkpointing VIO data sets to the job journal. Deferred restarts may be accomplished on the checkpoint entry; however, the VIO data sets must be made DUMMY. Locate and correct the error.

205 0C VIO data sets could not be checkpointed for a subsequent automatic restart. Any checkpoints taken during this step are ineligible for automatic restarts; however, deferred restarts are possible if the VIO data sets are made DUMMY. An automatic restart cannot occur until a new and successful checkpoint is taken.

Programmer Response: Probable subsystem error. Contact your software support personnel.

208 08 Erroneous data exists in tape for the new checkpoint data set presented by the user. The integrity of this data set is uncertain and therefore unusable.

Programmer Response: If the new checkpoint data set is a sequential data set, the failure occurred because the data set was open for MOD and residual data was found. Either remove the MOD disposition, reinitialize the data set to an empty status, or reallocate the data set. If the data set is a PDS, the failure occurred as a result of residual members in the directory. Either scratch the members or reallocate the data set.

209 08 Another user DCB is concurrently open to the checkpoint data set presented by the user.

Programmer Response: Remove the code that violates this restriction, or change the DD statement for the checkpoint data set.

210 08 The checkpoint data set presented by the user was defined with DISP=SHR.

211 08 An attempt to create a new checkpoint data set has failed because it resides on an insecure volume.

Programmer Response: The candidate volume for a checkpoint data set was rejected by the operator as not being secure. Contact installation personnel and verify the eligibility of the volume for creating checkpoint data sets.

213 08 The checkpoint data set offered by the user is a subsystem data set. Subsystem data sets cannot be used as checkpoint data sets.

Programmer Response: Correct the JCL and resubmit the job.

214 08 The new checkpoint data set offered by the user exists on a shared direct access device. Concurrent opens cannot be controlled; therefore, the data set is unacceptable.

Programmer Response: If possible, return the volume to the condition it was in at checkpoint.

224 08 An open data set has a type of ACB that checkpoint does not support. Checkpoint supports VSAM ACB's and an ACB that the system builds when the user opens a DCB for a subsystem data set, such as spooled data sets.

252 S23F In a job using more than one checkpoint data set, one of the checkpoint data sets (not the one used for restart) was deemed not secure.

Programmer Response: Ensure the proper data set volume was mounted at restart time. Also verify the status of the subject volume by contacting the operations personnel. Be alert for a possible security violation.

255 S13F, S23F Security violation—user not authorized to access a RACF®® protected data set at restart.

Programmer Response: See IHJ101I or IHJ102I for information. Be alert for a possible security violation.
