ARC0936I
ERROR RETRIEVING SMS VTOC/VVDS DATA, FUNC = (ACCESS | FREE), RC=retcode, REASON=reas1, SUBREAS=reas2

Explanation

DFSMShsm attempted to retrieve VTOC and catalog entry information from an SMS-managed volume, or attempted to free storage associated with the retrieval of this information. An error was encountered. The following table shows the possible values for RC, REASON and SUBREAS:

Table 1. ARC0936I Return and Reason codes
Code Meaning
RC = 8 REASON = R15-CVAFFILT SUBREAS = Byte 1-internal Byte 2 or 3, CVSTAT Byte 4, X'8B' Error reading VTOC.
RC = 12 REASON = R15-CATALOGENTRYMGR SUBREAS = 0 Error accessing CATENTRY.
Start of changeRC = 12 REASON = 98-CATALOGENTRYMGR SUBREAS = Bytes 1,2- catalog module identifier Byte 3-Internal REASON, Byte 4- Internal RC. End of change Start of changeError accessing CATENTRY.End of change
RC = 16 REASON = R15-GETMAIN or FREEMAIN SUBREAS = Byte 1-internal Byte 2-0 Bytes 3 and 4, X'78' or X'05' Processing error (GETMAIN or FREEMAIN).
RC = 32 REASON = 0 SUBREAS = 0 Parm list error.
RC = 64 REASON = 0 SUBREAS = 0 Major Error (ABEND).
RC = 900 REASON = 0 SUBREAS = 0 An abend occurred.

For further information about the reason codes and subreason codes associated with return code 8, see z/OS DFSMSdfp Diagnosis.

For further information about the reason codes for return code 12, see z/OS MVS System Messages, Vol 6 (GOS-IEA), under message IDC3009I, return code 50, where the reason code under return code 50 corresponds to the reason code in this message.

For further information about the reason codes and subreason codes associated with return code 16, see z/OS MVS Programming: Assembler Services Reference ABE-HSP.

System action

The volume function processing ends. DFSMShsm processing continues.

Programmer response

Determine the error from either, or both, the return and reason codes. Correct the error and retry the failing function.
