ARC0500I
CANNOT ALLOCATE VOLUME volser, DARC=reason-code, EXTENDED REASON CODE=extreas, INFO CODE=infocode

Explanation

While DFSMShsm has been processing a request for a volume mount with volume serial number volser, dynamic allocation has encountered an error. The reason code from the dynamic allocation routine is reason-code, the extended reason code from the dynamic allocation routine is extreas, and the information code from dynamic allocation is infocode. reason-code and infocode are printed in hexadecimal format. extreas is printed in decimal format. For information about dynamic allocation reason codes, see the z/OS MVS Programming: Authorized Assembler Services Guide.

If two ARC0500 messages have been issued together, and the second message contains the characters ***** for extreas and infocode, the DARC in that message represents an internal return code. See the first message for information.

If volser contains '******', the allocation was for multiple volumes.

System action

The operation ends. DFSMShsm processing continues.

Programmer response

Take corrective action based on the meaning of reason-code, extreas, and infocode, and then retry the request. If the error occurs again with the same volume and return code, notify the storage administrator to take corrective action.
