Error description

• DEDB Reload gets U3771 due to error:
  FABC3771E - VSAM I/O ERROR - "CHK" AREA:
  
  This issue only occurs when the reloaded ADS is a multi-volume
  data set allocated in a mixed DASD enviroment. That is where
  both EAV and non-EAV are defined in the same storage class,
  which is specified GS=YES.                         MSGFABC3771E

  ****************************************************************
  The DEDB Reload utility calculates HIGH ALLOCATE RBA of the
  multi-volume ADS by multiplying HIGH ALLOCATE RBA of the first
  VOLUME by the number of VOLUMEs.
  When the multi-volume ADS is allocated on EAV and
  non-EAV, since the HIGH ALLOCATE RBA is different for EAV
  from that of non-EAV, the calculated HIGH ALLOCATE RBA is larger
  than the actual one, which caused VSAM I/O error.
  

Problem conclusion

• DEDB Reload has been modified to calculate HIGH ALLOCATE RBA by
  using the actual number of tracks that are allocated on each
  volume.
