List Generation Error Messages z/OS DFSMS Using the Interactive Storage Management Facility SC23-6856-00 |

ISMF uses short error messages to document errors in generating a list.The short error message appears on the first panel displayed after the error is detected. For more information, use the HELP command to display the long error message. Use the HELP command again to see the help panel associated with the error message. If ISMF cannot complete the requested list, you may get a partial list to work with. If ISMF cannot determine whether a data set meets your selection criteria, the data set will be included in the list and the data columns that represent information ISMF could not obtain or calculate will contain a series of special characters. When ISMF cannot display a value in a data column, it displays
a series of special characters instead:
In addition to the above symbols, less-than and greater-than symbols
may appear in data set and DASD volume lists:
When creating a volume list by collecting information about the device on which the volumes reside (by choosing option Y for Acquire Physical Data), your selection criteria may include a dismounted volume. In this case, the volume serial number is not available. ISMF includes the volume in the volume list but leaves question marks in the Volume Serialdata column. When ISMF cannot access a volume to gather information for a data set, it displays a message next to the data set name field. The error message in Figure 1 indicates that ISMF cannot access the volume on which data set USER230.ISMF.ROOT.DATA resides. ISMF cannot display any information for that data set. Figure 1. Data
