(ttt)-mmmmm(yy), CORRECT SIZE (IN CYLINDERS) OF VOLUME volser CANNOT BE DETERMINED. VOLUME IS NOT PROCESSED. SIZE FROM DEVTYPE MACRO IS nnnnnn. SIZE FROM RDC DATA IS nnnnnn. SIZE FROM VTOC IS nnnnnn. SIZE FROM VTOC INDEX IS nnnnnn

Explanation

DFSMSdss detected that either the size of the volume in the VTOC does not match the size of the volume in the VTOC index, or a seek in the high cylinder of the volume (as indicated in the VTOC) failed. The seek failure means that the volume is smaller than indicated in the VTOC. The sizes are represented in decimal and include both primary and alternate cylinders. A zero value indicates that the size was not available. (For example, if the volume does not contain a VTOC index, the size from the VTOC index will be zero.)

System action

The volume is not processed. Data sets which reside on this volume will not be processed. Processing continues with any other volumes or data sets. The return code is 8.

Operator response

None.

Programmer response

Determine the proper size of the device, correct the problem, and rerun the job. If the size of the volume in the VTOC or VTOC index or both is incorrect, you can use ICKDSF REFORMAT REFVTOC to correct the problem. Additionally, you might need to refresh the operating system's internal control structure for the device using the following DEVSERV operator command:
DEVSERV QDASD,device_number,1,VALIDATE
where device_number is the device number. If these actions do not resolve the problem, search problem reporting databases for a fix for the problem. If no fix exists, contact the IBM® Support Center for programming support.
