IEB549I
ddname, DISKETTE READER OPEN FAILED

Explanation

The diskette reader was unable to OPEN the file because the OPEN macro instruction was unsuccessful for the specified file, or the IEFRDER file is using a 3540 device and one of the following errors was detected:
  • The diskette data set specified as containing JCL does not have 80 for a record length.
  • No volume serial number was specified in the DD statement.
  • No data set name was specified in the DD statement or supplied in the START command.
  • The data set specified in the DD statement could not be located on the specified diskette.
  • The operator was unable to provide volume accessibility or data set security qualifiers for the requested data set.
  • The specified volume has an incorrect VOL1 label.
  • The HDR1 label describing the specified data set is incorrect.
  • A permanent I/O error occurred while trying to read the label track on the specified diskette.
  • A delimiter (/*DSKT) was provided in the 3540 as the diskette containing the JCL data set.
  • A reply of ‘C’ was given to message IEB541A.
  • The volume serial number specified is an incorrect diskette volume identifier.
In the message text:
ddname
The file specified by the OPEN.

System action

The diskette reader is ended.

Operator response

Ensure that the correct volume serial number and data set name were supplied in the START command and the correct diskette was provided in the 3540. Ensure that the correct volume accessibility and data set security qualifiers were provided if requested by the diskette reader.

Programmer response

If the operator was unable to correct the problem, the programmer should ensure that his run instructions were correct. If the run instructions were correct, the diskette that contains the JCL should be checked for label incorrectly or errors. If the diskette is good, or if no diskette was involved in the error, the system programmer should ensure that procedures used for starting the diskette reader correctly define the required files.
