ARC0141I
ERROR ALLOCATING OUTPUT DATA SET

Explanation

You issued the DFSMShsm LIST, HLIST, AUDIT, REPORT, RECYCLE, or EXPIREBV command. The output of the command was to be written to an output data set or a spool data set. However, the data set could not be created.

System action

Except in the following case, the command ends, and DFSMShsm processing continues.

Exception case: You specified the RECYCLE ALL command with a prefix or a full data set name for the TAPELIST data sets, and the failure occurred when DFSMShsm tried to open the data set for level 2 volumes. RECYCLE processing continues to attempt to process backup volumes.

Programmer response

Check for the following conditions:
  • Check to see if the OUTDATASET parameter was specified. If so, verify whether the data set exists or not.
  • Check to see if there is an associated system I/O error message.
  • Check to see if there is enough space available to create the data set.
  • Check to see if the data set was preallocated. If so, its characteristics might be incompatible with those required for the output data set.
