ARC6084E
DURING ARECOVER PROCESSING, THE ATTRIBUTES OF VSAM DATA SET data-set-name MAY CHANGE

Explanation

A VSAM data set has been encountered in the ABACKUP ALLOCATE list during ABACKUP processing. The possibility exists that the attributes of this data set may change as a result of ARECOVER command processing. The ABACKUP RETURN CODE, appearing in message ARC6055I, is set to 084.

System action

DFSMShsm processing continues. Issued By: ABARS secondary address space.

Programmer response

This message is intended to warn that the attributes of the VSAM data set could change during ARECOVER processing. This potential problem can be avoided by including all VSAM data sets in the ABACKUP INCLUDE list instead of the ALLOCATE list.

A patchable bit in the ABRCB, when set ON, prevents the ABACKUP RETURN CODE from being set to 084 when VSAM data sets are encountered in the ABACKUP ALLOCATE list. For example,
  • PATCH .ABRCB.+81 BITS(........1)
