Explanation

During nucleus initialization program (NIP) processing, the pointer to the master catalog could not be obtained from the SYS1.NUCLEUS data set. Possible causes are:
  • I/O errors while attempting a build link-list request (BLDL macro) to find the member.
  • Member not found.
  • I/O errors attempting to read records from the member.
The pointer to the master catalog should be in the SYSCATLG or SYSCATnn member in the SYS1.NUCLEUS data set.

System action

The system issues messages about the problem. The system enters a non-restartable wait state.

Operator response

ReIPL the system. If the problem persists, notify the system programmer.

System programmer response

Ask the operator to IPL a different system. Use it to determine if the SYSCATLG or SYSCATnn member exists in the SYS1.NUCLEUS data set and is in the correct format:
  • Run the IEHLIST utility with LISTPDS to list the directory of the SYS1.NUCLEUS data set.
  • Run the IEBPTPCH utility to print the SYSCATLG or SYSCATnn member of SYS1.NUCLEUS.
Add the SYSCATLG or SYSCATnn member to the SYS1.NUCLEUS data set.

If the problem persists, search problem reporting databases for a fix for the problem. If no fix exists, contact the IBM® Support Center.
