Explanation

An EXPIREBV command has been issued. DFSMShsm has determined that the command could not be processed for one of the following reasons:
  • SMS is either inactive, or not installed, or a severe error has occurred while attempting to retrieve information from SMS.

    Message ARC0683I has been issued prior to this message and indicates why SMS-managed data sets cannot be processed. The EXPIREBV command does not include any parameters for processing non-SMS-managed data sets.

  • The backup functions have not been enabled because no BCDS is defined or a severe error occurred trying to access the BCDS during DFSMShsm startup.
  • The BCDS is not defined. The ABARSVERSIONS parameter requires a BCDS.
  • Either the STARTKEY parameter has been provided or the RESUME parameter has been specified (a nonblank key has been saved in the backup control record from the previous execution), and you specified the ENDKEY parameter on the EXPIREBV command. The starting key specified with STARTKEY or the saved key is greater in collating sequence than the ending key. The collating sequence is based on the EBCDIC character set.
  • You have specified the ABARSVERSIONS keyword with the NONSMSVERSIONS keyword on the EXPIREBV command. These are mutually exclusive parameters.
  • You have specified the ABARSVERSIONS(AGNAME(agname)) keyword with STARTKEY, ENDKEY, or RESUME keywords on the EXPIREBV command. ABARSVERSIONS(AGNAME(agname)) implies a starting and ending point for ABR records in the BCDS.
  • You have specified the RETAINVERSIONS keyword on the EXPIREBV command but have failed to supply the subparameter.
  • You have specified the NONSMSVERSIONS keyword on the EXPIREBV command, but have failed to supply one of its subparameters. At least one subparameter is required when NONSMSVERSIONS is specified.
  • You have failed to provide either the DISPLAY or the EXECUTE keyword on the EXPIREBV command. One or the other is required.
  • The EXPIREBV command has already been started in another DFSMShsm host.

System action

Processing of the EXPIREBV command ends. DFSMS/MVS processing continues.

Programmer response

If message ARC0683I has also been issued, see this message and its programmer response for more information.

If the command parameters are in error or are incomplete, correct the syntax and reissue the command.

If the backup functions are not enabled, DFSMShsm must be stopped. The BCDS must be defined (if not already), and any problems with the BCDS must be corrected. Restart DFSMShsm before reissuing the command.
