DSNT550I   'data-set-name' IS UNAVAILABLE FOR CLIST OUTPUT BECAUSE reason

Explanation

Data set data-set-name is required for output by the DB2® Install CLIST, but cannot be allocated for the reason that is indicated by reason. Possible reasons are:
  • IT CANNOT BE ALLOCATED OR OPENED FOR OUTPUT

    An error occurred during an allocate, open, or close operation on data-set-name.

  • ERROR PROCESSING REQUESTED DATA SET

    The request for data-set-name could not be processed.

  • MEMBER SPECIFIED, BUT DATASET IS NOT PARTITIONED

    data-set-name already exists, but is not a partitioned data set as required by the CLIST.

  • PROTECTED DATASET

    Your userid is not authorized to use data-set-name.

  • VOLUME NOT ON SYSTEM

    data-set-name is registered in the system catalog on a DASD or tape volume which is currently unmounted or unavailable.

  • UNAVAILABLE DATASET

    data-set-name is currently allocated by another user.

System action

The Install panel for specifying data-set-name is redisplayed. You cannot proceed to the next DB2 Install panel until the problem is resolved.

User response

Take one of the following actions according to reason:
  • For errors allocating, opening, or processing data-set-name, specific diagnostic messages are displayed by TSO. If you are not seeing these messages, enter the command TSO PROFILE WTPMSG in the command line of the current DB2 install panel. Consult the appropriate MVS™ system messages and codes manual for further information about these messages.
  • If data-set-name is indicated as a non-partitioned data set, verify that you have entered the intended data set name for CLIST output. If so, rename or delete the existing data set.
  • Consult your system security administrator to obtain access to a protected data set.
  • In the event of an unavailable data set, ask the current user(s) to release it. Ask your system programmer to identify the user(s) if you are unable to do so. Otherwise, try later when the data set has been freed.
