System action

If the reason code is 02, 13, 26, 28, or 29, IMS DEDB Fast Recovery stops processing the indicated area data set, registers it in the DBRC RECON data set as unavailable, and continues. If the reason code is 14 or 17, the job ends with an abend code of U3511.

User response

Analyze the cause of the error by referring to the following code descriptions. If the job has ended abnormally, correct the error and rerun the job. If the job has ended normally, see the DEDB Area Status list and recover the indicated area data set using the DEDB Area Data Set Create utility or the Database Recovery utility.
Code
Description
02
This status should never occur. Check why the named area data set was changed to an available status after it has been changed to an unavailable status.
13
Check the VSAM error that is indicated by the previous message DFR3501E.
14
The DD statement for the area data set in the execution JCL is incorrect.
17
Check register 15 at the time of abnormal termination, which contains the return code from the DYNALLOC macro. For details on return codes from the DYNALLOC macro, see the Authorized Assembler Services Reference (ALESERV-DYNALLOC).
26
The area name in DB specified by DBDGEN does not match the area name in the control CI (the second CI).
28
The area definition by DBDGEN does not match the actual area data set format (for instance, CISIZE, UOW). The consistency of DBDGEN and VSAM DEFINE must be confirmed. In case the area format must be changed, the area must be reorganized by UNLOAD/LOAD.
29
The corresponding area data set is in a format of IMS/VS 1.2 (or earlier) and thus cannot be recovered by IMS DEDB Fast Recovery.
