ARC0319I
UNUSED SPACE NOT RELEASED DURING RECALL/RECOVER OF PARTITIONED DATA SET dsname

Explanation

A RECALL or RECOVERY command was issued for the data set dsname. When the original data set was allocated, track overflow was requested. DFSMShsm encountered an error trying to update the JFCB that corresponds to the allocation of the primary copy of the data set.

To recall or recover partitioned data sets with track overflow whose directory spans more than one track, DFSMShsm does the following:
  • Allocates the data set without the RELEASE option.
  • Opens the data set without track overflow.
  • Writes the directory.
  • Closes the data set. The new space is not released.
  • Updates the JFCB so new space is released after the data set is closed.
  • Opens the data set with track overflow.
  • Writes the members with track overflow.
  • Closes the data set. The new space is released.
  • Deallocates the data set.

System action

The data set was processed successfully, but new space was not released when the primary copy of the data set was closed.

Programmer response

If the data set is large or needed to be compacted before it was migrated or backed up, release the new space.
