(ttt)-mmmmm(yy), ERROR ENCOUNTERED WHILE ACCESSING {VTOC | VVDS} IMAGE OF VOLUME volume_serial_number ON DDNAME ddname, xxxx

Explanation

An error (logical or I/O) was encountered in analyzing the image of the VTOC or VVDS on the dumped tape during data set RESTORE processing. The types of possible logical errors can be:
  • A non-VTOC or non-VVDS record
  • An invalid format of the VVDS
  • No data on track
  • I/O errors encountered on the track during the DUMP
  • An end-of-file (EOF) during the VTOC or VVDS search.
If physical I/O errors were encountered, other I/O error messages precede this message. The xxxx in the message is the SYNAD information passed by the access method routines.

System action

The volume is bypassed. The return code is 8.

Operator response

None.

Programmer response

Make sure the function completed normally during the DUMP process. If the error is in the VVDS, non-VSAM data sets can be restored when you specify DSORG NE VSAM in the BY criteria. Use a different backup copy to do the RESTORE.
