IEC999I
text

Explanation

text is one of the following:
  • mod ,sub ,DEB ADDR = debaddr [-1] [DSN = dsname]
  • mod ,sub ,WORK AREA = workarea
  • mod ,jjj ,sss [,dev ,volser ,dsname ,nnn LOST BLOCKS]
  • mod ,jjj ,sss [,errtext]

This message is issued due to a failure during OPEN/CLOSE/EOV, DADSM, or task close processing.

In the message text:
mod
The name of the module in which the error occurred.
sub
The subroutine of the CSECT within the module in error.
debaddr
The address of a DEB that could not be properly closed. The DEB has been removed from the TCB DEB chain
-1
If -1 follows the DEB address, it means that the DCB is not accessible and implies that a program freed the storage while the DCB was open.
xxxxxx
A text string.
workarea
The address of the work area for the module in error, which should appear in an SDUMP.
jjj
The job name.
sss
The step name.
dev
The device number.
volser
The volume serial number.
dsname
The data set name.
nnn
The number of blocks written to the hardware buffer but not written to the tape medium.
errtext
Text which describes the error which will result in O/C/EOV issuing the following ABEND0C1.

The error message includes the unit address, volume serial number, and data set name only if the error occurred during DADSM processing.

System action

The task is ended. If errtext is specified an ABEND0C1 will be issued.

Operator response

None

System programmer response

None

Programmer response

Check previous messages or abends to help determine the reason for the failure.

If debaddr= is specified, the failure occurred during task close. The problem is probably with the program that opened the data set. The most common problem is the program modifying or freeing the storage that contains an open DCB. A '-1' after the DEB address means the open DCB or ACB storage is not accessible. Correct the problem and run the job again.

If workarea= is specified, a system problem was encountered. Prior to contacting hardware support personnel for help, make the SDUMP and failing job available. For ISO/ANSI tape labels, the system might have detected an incorrect IECIEPRM parameter list passed by an MVS™ routine.

If job name (jjj) and step name (sss) are specified, an indeterminate error (a program check or a machine check) was encountered during OPEN/CLOSE/EOV or DADSM processing.

If this message is accompanied by a CO3 abend and a slip dump is obtained, searching the system trace table for the DEB address and corresponding DCB address might help determine the cause of the problem. For this to be effective, the system trace table might need to be enlarged and branch tracing turned off. A trace table size of 256K should be sufficient.

If errtext is specified, a system problem was encountered during O/C/EOV processing. Before calling the IBM® Support Center make the 0C1 dump and failing job available.
