ADR228W
(ttt)-mmmmm(yy), THE DEFRAG FUNCTION COULD NOT FURTHER REDUCE THE FREE SPACE FRAGMENTATION OF THE VOLUME

Explanation

The DEFRAG function determined one of the following:
  • The volume was insufficiently fragmented to process the function.
  • If there is fragmented free space on the volume, DEFRAG cannot relocate extents with its algorithms to further reduce the fragmentation.
  • If there is fragmented free space on the volume and MAXMOVE(n) was specified, DEFRAG cannot further reduce the fragmentation of the volume without relocating more than n tracks of data.
  • DEFRAG not have been able to relocate any extents because they are the type of data set extent which DEFRAG does not process (for example, VVDS, VTOCIX, and so on), or they be extents of data sets for which the requestor does not have read authorization.

If MAXMOVE(n,p) was specified, the system issues message ADR228W when the current pass cannot further DEFRAG the volume. Previous passes have performed some defragmentation of the volume and issued message ADR213I indicating that data set extents were relocated on one or more of the previous passes.

System action

DEFRAG does not further alter the volume. The return code is 4.

Operator response

None.
