THE {NUMBER OF BACKUP VERSIONS (DATA SET EXISTS)| NUMBER OF BACKUP VERSIONS (DATA SET DELETED)} VALUE SPECIFIED FOR {management class-name} IS GREATER THAN THE DFSMSHSM MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE NUMBER OF BACKUP VERSIONS - VERSIONS IS SET TO {maximum allowable number of backup versions}

Explanation

The value specified in either the NUMBER OF BACKUP VERSIONS (DATA SET EXISTS) or the NUMBER OF BACKUP VERSIONS (DATA SET DELETED) for the indicated management class was larger than the number of backup versions allowed for the current DFSMShsm BCDS maximum record length. The following values are the valid maximum allowable number of backup versions for different BCDS record lengths:
  • Record length of 2040 to 6543 — 29 maximum versions
  • Record length of 6544 or more — 100 maximum versions

System action

The maximum allowable number of backup versions DFSMShsm keeps for a data set based on the DFSMShsm BCDS maximum record length was substituted for the value in either the NUMBER OF BACKUP VERSIONS (DATA SET EXISTS) or the NUMBER OF BACKUP VERSIONS (DATA SET DELETED). DFSMShsm processing continues.

Programmer response

If the maximum number of backup versions in the indicted management class is less than or equal to 100, either increase the BCDS maximum record length (as described in the support use section of the z/OS DFSMShsm Implementation and Customization Guide), or reduce the indicated management class value to a number equal to or lower than the DFSMShsm allowable maximum number of backup versions. If the maximum number of backup versions in the indicated management class is greater than 100, reduce the indicated management class value to a number equal to or lower than the DFSMShsm allowable maximum number of backup versions.
