“<fn ft fm>“ is invalid for use as a CMS database

Reason

The file you are using as a CMS format database is invalid. The file must be an update‑in‑place file with fixed RECFM and a block size of 4K. This is the type of file created if a minidisk that has been formatted with 4K blocks is reserved using the RESERVE command. The <fn ft fm> variable is the CMS file ID of the invalid file.

Action

If you are creating a new database, use a reserved minidisk that has been formatted in 4K blocks. If you are using a current database and there was an associated physical I/O error, reformat the minidisk and recover the database. If the problem persists, contact CA Support for assistance.
