Explanation

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

The control program found that no space was allocated on a direct access device as the prime area for the data set:
  • In QISAM load mode, during data set generation, the SPACE parameter of the DD statement did not specify a primary quantity.
  • The data set control block (DSCB) for the data set was incorrectly modified by the problem program.

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

In the first case, the data set should be dumped sequentially and recreated using QISAM load mode. The job should be restarted with a primary quantity specified in the SPACE parameter of the DD statement. If the prime area is to span more than one volume, the number of volumes and the number of units required should be specified.

In the second case, verify that the data set control block was not incorrectly modified by the problem program. After making corrections, reassemble the program and run the job step again.
