ICE285A
DEVICE WITH CAPACITY OVER 17476 CYLINDERS REQUIRES BLOCKSET FOR ALLOCATED WORK DATA SETS

Explanation

Critical. One or more JCL or dynamically allocated work data sets was allocated on a type of device with a capacity of more than 17476 cylinders. Blockset is the only DFSORT technique that supports the use of such devices for work data sets, but Blockset was not selected.

System action

The program terminates.

Programmer response

Rerun the job with a SORTDIAG DD statement to get message ICE800I, which indicates the reason Blockset could not be used. If possible, remove the condition preventing the use of Blockset. Alternatively, ensure that work data sets are not allocated for this application on types of devices with more than 17476 cylinders.
