Error description

  • In ISMF 11.1.1, no test case is generated for the last data set
    in a saved ISMF list. The message received is:
    
    THE TABLE DOES NOT HAVE SECOND VOLUME FOR DATA SET
    USER.ISMF.PS.TEST7 WHICH IS MULTI VOLUME DATA SET
    
    This occurs:
    a. when the last 2 data sets in the list are multi-volume and
       data resides on only 1 volume and the remaining volumes are
       candidates.
    b. In ISMF and Naviquest
    c. When Replace Existing Prefix is set to Y or N.
    
    
    This will also correct the following error when processing a
    saved ISMF list where the last data sets listed are truly
    multi-volume. The message received is:
    
    TBOPEN OF TABLE  MYLIST FAILED - TABLE IN USE
    TABLE BEING CLOSED
    ERROR WRITING USER5.'MY.TESTS' MEMBER TST1 - RC=12
    DATA SET NOT OPENED
