For general information about message IEC161I, see the explanation for return code 001.
Specific information for this return code: The last request to close this data set was not completed successfully. (OPENIND is on in the catalog). A previous VSAM job might have ended abnormally and left the data set open. This is a normal message for system data set during IPL.
OPEN processing continues. The error flag (ACBERFLG) in the ACB (access method block) for the data set is set to 116 (X'74').
If the error occurred at a time other than during IPL, use the access method services VERIFY command to make sure the end-of-file marker in the data set entry in the catalog is correct. If you ignore the warning and try to process the data set, the results are unpredictable. For example, you could cause lost records. If you use the VERIFY command, this message can appear when VERIFY processing opens the data set. If VERIFY processing then successfully closes the data set, it issues condition code 0. If you use the VERIFY command on a linear data set, the explicit VERIFY function is bypassed. The linear data set is successfully opened and closed, without an error message, which resets the open indicator for the data set.
