Explanation

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

Specific information for this return code: Invalid Extent information. Length of catalog extent data does not match the number of extents, number of extents is greater than the maximum number allowed, or extent out of sequence.
  • ccc = 003 - IDA0192C: MERGVOL - Length of extent data does not match number of extents.
  • ccc = 026 - IDA0192Z:
    • SFI 4- VSAM Open has detected greater than 255 extents exist for this data set.
    • SFI 5- VSAM Open has detected extent out of sequence condition due to volume out of order for an index component of an SMS-managed data set with at least one stripe.
    • SFI 6- VSAM Open has detected extent out of sequence condition due to volume out of order for a non-striped or non-SMS data set.
    • SFI 7- VSAM Open has detected extent out of sequence condition due to volume out of order for a data component of an SMS-managed data set with at least one stripe.
  • ccc = 032 - IDA0192C: MERGVOL- Open of a striped component - catalog returned at least 1 volume entry with no extent information.

System action

SFI 5, SFI 6, and SFI 7 are warning messages and OPEN processing continues. For all others, OPEN processing ends for the data set. The error flag (ACBERFLG) in the ACB (access method block) for the data set is set to 168 (X'A8').

Programmer response

For SFI 5, SFI 6, and SFI 7, no action is necessary unless you want the volumes in order. If you want the volumes in order, see informational APAR II14289. It documents an available unsupported tool that identifies data sets with volumes out of order. The tool scans specified catalogs and provides the correct volume sequence for data sets.

For all other errors, correct the error and rerun the job.
