Explanation
The VSAM data set specified could not be processed for one or more of the following reasons:
- The data set was not cataloged when the job was run.
- There is no catalog entry for the data set, or one of the components of the data set resides on
a volume that is not in the catalog volume list for the component.
- If SELECTMULTI(FIRST) or SELECTMULTI(ANY) was specified, an uncataloged data set was encountered
on a volume specified by LOGINDDNAME, LOGINDYNAM, LOGDDNAME, or LOGDYNAM. However, there is a
cataloged data set with a duplicate name residing on another volume.
System action
Processing continues with the next data set. The return code is 8.

Inspect the catalog for the entry of the VSAM data set listed in the message. If a volume serial
number is listed in the message, verify that the number is also listed in the catalog entry for the
data set. Correct the corrupted catalog, and use IDCAMS to recatalog the VSAM data set if no catalog
entry is found.
