The HBACKDS command was issued with the parameter CHANGEDONLY. To determine whether dsname was changed since the last backup, DFSMShsm tried retrieving the data set’s VTOC entry. The OBTAIN function encountered an error trying to retrieve the VTOC entry for dsname.
If the HBACKDS command specified a data set filter, then dsname can be the name of the data component of a VSAM cluster with a name matching the filter.
If dsname is uncataloged, then DFSMShsm tried to retrieve the VTOC entry from the volume specified on the HBACKDS command. If dsname is cataloged, DFSMShsm tried to retrieve the VTOC entry from the first volume indicated in the catalog entry.
DFSMShsm treats dsname as unchanged and does not try to back it up. Processing continues on any other data sets or filters specified in the HBACKDS command.
If retcode is 4, correct the problem and reissue the HBACKDS command, deleting from the command any data set names and filters backed up the first time. If retcode is 8 or 12, first ensure you spelled dsname correctly; if so, then notify the system programmer to take corrective action. If retcode is 16, notify the storage administrator to take corrective action.
