Explanation
When DFSMSdss copies with DELETE
between SMS and NONSMS or between different storage groups in SMS, all parts of a VSAM sphere must
be included. The system might also issue this message if there is an alternate index associated with
the base cluster, but there is no path defined for the alternate index.
System action
Processing continues with the next data set. The return code is 8.
Operator response
Programmer response
Do one or more of the following, then rerun the job:
- Specify RENAMEUNCONDITIONAL or RECATALOG instead of DELETE.
- Specify SPHERE to include all parts of the sphere.
- Specify all parts of the sphere in the data set INCLUDE parameter.
If there is no path defined between the base cluster and the alternate index, use access
method services to define a path, and then rerun the job.
