EDG6840E
DYNAMIC ALLOCATION OF UTILITY SORT FILE VCINOUT FAILED ERROR CODE return_code function_code error_code info_code sms_code

Explanation

The DFSMSrmm EDGUTIL utility attempted to allocate or deallocate its VCINOUT work file. VCINOUT is used during sort to contain records that are selected from the volume catalog. This VCINOUT file size is determined using the size of the control data set.

In the message text:
return_code
The DYNALLOC error return code in decimal.
function_code
This is one of:
  • 01-dynamic allocation failed
  • 02-dynamic deallocation failed
error_code
The error code expressed in hexadecimal.
info_code
The information code expressed in hexadecimal.
sms_code
The SMS reason code is optional and expressed in hexadecimal. It appears in the message only when the error code is 97xx.

For an explanation of these codes, refer to z/OS MVS Programming: Authorized Assembler Services Guide.

System action

The utility ends. DFSMSrmm sets return code 12.

Operator response

Inform the system programmer.

System programmer response

Use the dynamic allocation error and information codes to determine the reason for the failure, and correct the problem, if possible. Use the SMS reason code to identify the additional SMS messages that describe the error. Check the LOGREC for additional SMS messages that describe the error. DFSMSrmm dynamically allocates the VCINOUT file, if one is not already allocated. If you add DDNAME VCINOUT to JCL for EDGUTIL, DFSMSrmm uses it; dynamic allocation and deallocation are skipped. If the problem cannot be identified, report the error to the IBM® Support Center.
