Explanation

For general information about message IEC161I, see the explanation for return code 001.

Specific information for this return code: The data set being opened is security protected and the OPEN routine could not validate your password, or an unauthorized program is attempting to open a catalog as a data set. The (sfi) field in the message is of the form (rc, crs, cmi) where
  • rc - catalog return code
  • crs - catalog reason code
  • cmi - catalog module name that detected the error

See message IDC3009I for a list of these catalog return and reason codes.

System action

OPEN processing ends for the data set. The error flag (ACBERFLG) in the ACB (access method block) for the data set is set to 152 (X'98').

Programmer response

If the password could not be validated, make sure that the correct password was supplied in the ACB or by the system or Time Sharing Option/Extensions (TSO/E) terminal operator. Use the access method services LISTCAT command to list the passwords for each data set in a catalog. (The master password for the catalog is needed to do this.) If an unauthorized program attempted to use a catalog as a data set, change the authorization for the program.
