Record Analysis and Processing produces first a summary report of all errors encountered that result in a condition code of either 8 or 12.

0 TOTAL ERRORS

The Record Analysis and Processing program recognizes as errors incorrect records found in the EXPORT input and certain sequences of SMF and EXPORT records.

0 RECORDS REJECTED FROM EXPIN
   0 RECORDS WITH INVALID LENGTHS              (CRU302I)
   0 RECORDS WITH INVALID CATALOG RECORD TYPES (CRU303I)

Records from the EXPORT data set used as input are not processed if they have an incorrect length field or are not of a recognized type. Any such records indicate a serious problem with the catalog copy being used as the basis for recovery. Review the log data set for messages CRU3nnI associated with this condition. Program execution continues only because this might be the last or only available copy of the catalog. Use the resulting output data set only as a last resort. It almost certainly contains errors that must be manually detected and resolved.

0 ERRORS IN EVENT SEQUENCE INVOLVING THE MOST CURRENT RECORD

Certain sequences of SMF and/or EXPORT records cannot occur with correct processing (deletion of a nonexistent record, for example). These are referred to as "errors in event sequence" or simply as "sequence errors" because there must be a missing record or a record that is actually newer bears an earlier date/time stamp.

The "most current record" for a catalog entry is either its SMF record with the highest date/time stamp or, if there is no SMF record, its record from the EXPORT input data set.

0 SEQUENCE ERRORS, BUT NO SYNCHRONIZATION CHECK
   0 SMF UPDATE FOR A NON-EXISTENT RECORD     (CRU203I)
   0 SMF DELETE FOR A NON-EXISTENT RECORD     (CRU204I)
   0 SMF INSERT PRECEDED BY AN SMF INSERT     (CRU205I)
   0 SMF INSERT PRECEDED BY AN SMF UPDATE     (CRU206I)
   0 SMF UPDATE PRECEDED BY AN SMF DELETE     (CRU207I)
   0 SMF DELETE PRECEDED BY AN SMF DELETE     (CRU208I)
   0 SMF INSERT PRECEDED BY EXPORT RECORD     (CRU209I)

0 SEQUENCE ERRORS, WITH A SYNCHRONIZATION CHECK
   0 SMF INSERT PRECEDED BY AN SMF INSERT     (CRU205I)
   0 SMF INSERT PRECEDED BY AN SMF UPDATE     (CRU206I)
   0 SMF UPDATE PRECEDED BY AN SMF DELETE     (CRU207I)
   0 SMF DELETE PRECEDED BY AN SMF DELETE     (CRU208I)

A "synchronization check" is the condition which exists when there are SMF records for the same catalog entry from different systems within the interval you specified as the multi-system clock difference. The absence of a synchronization check indicates a potentially more serious problem in that there is no likely explanation for the sequence error as there might be by reversing the sequence of the records when justified by the accompanying synchronization check.

For each error, review the log data set to find the message CRU2nnI associated with that condition. Save the listings of this report and the log data set to be used in with the diagnostics following the IDCAMS IMPORT of the new catalog. Each condition is explained more fully in the text of the message whose number appears at the end of the line.
