Error description
Job fails with 4228I FILE OPEN ERROR X'FF'(255) CAT=..INT.. (124,EG, 4) (OPNHC-97) Catalog is no longer usable. Catalog Check (IKQVCHK) and LISTCAT can not be performed.
Local fix
In the cases experienced the catalog secondary allocation was not specified and defaulted to 2 Tracks. This resulted in the catalog reaching over 13 extents in the High-Key Range. If the catalog is re-built with larger allocations, the number of extents is not achieved and the error does not occur.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Artifitial limit of 13 LKR/HKR * * extents per Catalog. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** When catalog is trying to expand LKR or HKR data extents (e.g. on defining the new Catalog entry), invalid IDCAMS error message is displayed accompanied with I/O errors or SDUMP. Futher attempts of catalog expansion might reveal more severe problems.
Problem conclusion
Due to increased size of some catalog records in version 5 we cannot fit over 13 extent-descriptors into a single volume information entry (VIGO). While it is fine for a regular dataset, it might become a problem for the Catalog since no horizontal extensions are allowed for Catalog VIGO. As a result, special approach is required when expanding Catalog LKR or HKR volume information entry.
