ERROR UPDATING DATA SET VTOC ENTRY FOR dsname, RC= retcode

Explanation

An error occurred during BACKUP. The CONCURRENT COPY function was used and the data-set-changed indicator was turned off when the concurrent copy session was established. After the backup failed, the error recovery path attempted to reset the data-set-changed indicator back ON, but the update of the data set VTOC entry failed. As a result, the data-set-changed indicator remains off and the data set does not have a valid current backup copy.

The request to the common VTOC access facility (CVAF) to write the data set VTOC entry failed. The return code is the contents of register 15 on return from CVAF. See the z/OS DFSMSdfp Advanced Services (Return Codes from CVAFDIR), for a description of the return code.

System action

None. DFSMShsm processing continues.

Programmer response

Either reset the data-set-changed indicator to on so a backup is made the next time AUTOBACKUP runs, or issue a command to backup the data set. If the problem still exists, notify the storage administrator.
