Explanation
The data set was not deleted. The reason code (
reason_code)
contains the following attributes:
- 0
- It is a VSAM data set. DFSMSdss does not support DELETE for VSAM
data sets during a physical data set dump.
- 1
- I/O or other errors, such as authorization or enqueue failure,
occurred on the data set, or no catalog entry was found for the data
set.
- 2
- Either the data set is not a single-volume data set, or it cannot
be determined if the data set is single volume or multivolume and
it is not presently cataloged.
- 3
- The data set was not enqueued by DFSMSdss. The enqueue could
be held by the initiator.
- 4
- The data set was not processed. (It is probably an empty data
set.)
- 5
- The data set has not expired by the expiration date. If this return
code is received for a data set COPY, the dsname appearing in the
message is a temporary name that DFSMSdss generated to properly name the
data set on the target volume. You must now delete the data set with
the temporary name from the source volume.
- 6
- The data set could not be exclusively enqueued. If the data set
is an HFS or z/OS® File System,
it was mounted by another application.
