03A

Explanation

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

A format 2 data set control block (DSCB), read from a direct access device into virtual storage, was updated from various fields of the data control block (DCB). When an attempt was made to write the updated data set control block back to the direct access device, an I/O error occurred.

When the ISAM interface is used to process a VSAM data set, this system completion code can be accompanied by message IEC251I. If it is, refer to the explanation of message IEC251I for information about the task that ended.

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

Determine the data set for which the problem occurred and the nature of the problem.

If this system completion code is accompanied by message IEC251I, respond as indicated by message IEC251I.

At the time of the ABEND, register 4 points to the OPEN/CLOSE/END-OF-VOLUME work area. At X'64' in the work area is the address of the job file control block (JFCB) whose contents begin with the 44 character data set name. The address of the unit control block (UCB), which contains the device address for the data set, is located and X'230' in the work area. The address of the user's DCB which contains the address of the data event block (DEB) is located at X'238' in the work area. Correct the problem with the data set and rerun the job.
