Explanation

The error occurred during processing of a BISAM OPEN macro instruction.

The control program found that new records were to be added to the data set, but the DCBMSWA and DCBSMSW fields of the data control block (DCB) indicated a virtual storage area too small to contain one track from the prime area. The appropriate ISAM-calculated value that you should specify in DCBSMSW is returned in register 15. If this value is greater than 65535, you must let ISAM obtain this work area for you.

System programmer response

If the error recurs and the program is not in error, look at the messages in the job log for more information. Search problem reporting data bases for a fix for the problem. If no fix exists, contact the IBM® Support Center. Provide the JCL and the program listing for the job.

Programmer response

The error can be corrected by one of the following:
  • Provide a sufficient area by proper specification of the DCBMSWA and DCBSMSW fields.
  • For fixed-length records, provide no virtual storage area. Either do not specify the contents of the DCBMSWA and DCBSMSW fields or set the fields to zero. A virtual storage work area is required only for variable-length records.
After making corrections, reassemble the program and run the job step again.
