Explanation

The error occurred during processing of a BISAM or QISAM OPEN macro instruction. The control program found that the buffers supplied by the programmer were inadequate for the records to be processed:
  • If the buffers were acquired by use of the BUILD macro instruction, either the BUFNO operand of the DCB macro instruction was not specified or the BUFL operand specified too small a value.
  • If the buffers were acquired by use of the GETPOOL macro instruction, the buffer length operand specified too small a value.

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

Specify the buffers correctly. Then run the job step again.
