TMSH0061E

Your CA 1 free DSNB chain has one or more used DSNBs in the chain. Once the first of these used DSNBs has reached the top of the free DSNB chain, any attempt to create a secondary file will result in a 3YY-112 abend.

Reason:

When used DSNBs are mistakenly chained to the unused DSNB chain, a 3YY-112 abend can occur to any job, trying to create a secondary file to a tape volume. Until the problem is resolved, no secondary tape data sets will be allowed to be created on tape.

Action:

This message is issued by the CA 1 Health Check component, which provides extensive detail on the problem encountered and the suggested response. The following actions and responses are documented for this check:

System Action: The CA 1 3YY-112 abend will be issued and the job creating the secondary data set will abnormally end.

Operator Response: Notify the CA 1 tape administrator of this condition.

System Programmer Response: One or more used DSNBs were detected in the unused DSNB chain. Unused DSNBs are required within CA 1 to create secondary tape data sets. You need to start the subtask TMSAPEC under the CTS task. TMSAPEC automatically detects and corrects record pointer errors in the TMC.

Problem Determination: Start TMSAPEC under CTS to report and correct any used DSNBs that are pointing to the unused DSNB chain. TMSAPEC will automatically detect DSNB pointer errors and take corrective measures to resolve the problem.
