(ttt)-mmmmm(yy), THE HIGH RELATIVE PAGE NUMBER COULD NOT BE DETERMINED FOR DATA SET dsname

Explanation

DFSMSdss was unable to read the high relative page number due to I/O errors. Therefore, DFSMSdss was unable to determine how much of the data set was actually used. If this error occurs during a logical DUMP or a COPY, all of the allocated space for the data set will be dumped or copied. If this error occurs during RESTORE processing, to a target device that has a different track capacity than the source device, there can be allocation problems because of residual data. It is therefore a good idea to restore the data set to a like device. If this error occurs during RELEASE processing, no space is released because the amount of releasable space cannot be determined.

System action

The return code is 4.

Programmer response

Determine the cause of the read error and correct it.
