Explanation
An error was detected while processing a spanned record. An RBA value of '***' indicates that the
RBA is not applicable or that the RBA is not available at the time the error was detected.
Volume_serial_number is the volume serial number for the source volume. A volume
serial number of '******' indicates that the number is unknown. The possible reason codes are:
- 1
- An unspanned record was found when a spanned record segment was expected. This is similar to the
error described by EXAMINE message IDC11730I.
- 2
- Spanned record segment sequence error. This is similar to the error described by EXAMINE message
IDC11739I. An intermediate or last segment was expected, but the first segment was found.
- 3
- Spanned record segment sequence error. This is similar to the error described by EXAMINE message
IDC11739I. The first segment was expected, but the last segment was found.
- 4
- Spanned record segment sequence error. This is similar to the error described by EXAMINE message
IDC11739I. The first segment was expected, but an intermediate segment was found.
- 5
- Spanned record update number error. This is similar to the error described by EXAMINE message
IDC11731I. The update number for the last segment was not the same as the update number for the
segment(s) processed previously.
- 6
- Spanned record update number error. This is similar to the error described by EXAMINE message
IDC11731I. The update number for an intermediate segment was not the same as the update number for
the segment(s) processed previously.
- 7
- Spanned record segment sequence error. The end of the data CA has been reached but the last
segment of a spanned record has not been found.
System action
Processing of this data set continues. The return code is 4.
Operator response
Programmer response
For logical data set dump, run IDCAMS EXAMINE against the VSAM cluster in question. Take
appropriate action to correct the problem and resubmit the job. For logical data set restore, run
IDCAMS EXAMINE on the indicated cluster.
Note: The spanned record error condition have been lost
when the record was written to the target cluster and IDCAMS EXAMINE not reveal any symptoms.
Manually check the cluster to determine if data has been lost; if so, you have to recover the
cluster from a previous backup version.
