IXG258I
DATA SET datasetname NOT ALLOCATED. RC=returncode ERROR=error INFO=infocode SMSRSN=smsreasoncode

Explanation

System logger encountered a dynamic allocation error when allocating the specified data set.

In the message text:
datasetname
is the data set name.
returncode
is the dynamic allocation return code.
error
is the dynamic allocation error code (S99ERROR).
infocode
is the dynamic allocation information code (S99INFO).
smsreasoncode
is the DFSMS reason code (S99ERSN).

System action

The system writes the message to the hardcopy log and continues processing.

Operator response

Notify the system programmer.

System programmer response

Reference the dynamic allocation documentation for the cause of the failure. Search problem reporting databases for a fix for the problem. If no fix exists, contact the IBM® Support Center.

S99ERSN, S99ERROR and S99INFO are fields in the IEFZB4D0 control block that logger uses to communicate with dynamic allocation.

The meaning of the dynamic allocation return code is documented in the Interpreting Error Reason Codes from DYNALLOC of the z/OS MVS Programming: Authorized Assembler Services Guide.

The meaning of S99ERROR is documented in Interpreting DYNALLOC Return Codes of the z/OS MVS Programming: Authorized Assembler Services Guide.

The meaning of S99ERSN is documented in S99RBX fields of the z/OS MVS Programming: Authorized Assembler Services Guide.

The meaning of S99INFO is documented in Interpreting Information Reason Codes from DYNALLOC of the z/OS MVS Programming: Authorized Assembler Services Guide.

After you have researched the meaning of the dynamic allocation return code, S99ERROR, S99ERSN and S99INFO, you may be able to find even more information about the meaning of S99ERSN by looking up a DFSMS message whose ID is IGDxxxx. You can compute xxxx: It is the value found in S99ERSN, converted to decimal. The documentation for this IGDxxxx message gives the meaning of the value found in S99ERSN, even if the DFSMS message does not appear in syslog. Not all values of S99ERSN map to an IGDxxxx message. Here are some examples of S99ERSN values and the related message ID: If S99ERSN is X'00042CF', the DFSMS message ID would be IGD17103. Sometimes zeros must be inserted after IGD. For example, if S99ERSN is X'00003F6', the DFSMS message ID would be IGD01014. IGD messages are documented in z/OS MVS System Messages, Vol 8 (IEF-IGD).
