DB00802W

I/O ERR - WRONG LENGTH RECORD - aaannnnn xxxxx-yy-zzz type

Reason:

If LXX replaces aaannnnn in the message text, CA Datacom/DB attempted to open the Log Area when opening User Requirements Tables, but found that the Log Area was not prepared for use. CA Datacom/DB may have encountered an uninitialized Log Area. See the INIT LXX in the CA Datacom/DB DBUTLTY Reference Guide.

If the I/O error occurred when accessing a record residing in a data area of a database, it is probably due to a JCL error or a hardware problem.

The following are replaced in the message text:

aaannnnn

One of the following:

  • CXX, the Directory
  • DATACOM-NAME of a data area and the DBID of the database
  • FXX, the Force Area
  • IXX or Inn of an index area, where nnnn is the database ID
  • LXX, the Log Area

xxxxx

Count-Key-Data Disk Type:

FBA Device Disk Type:

I/O type, where type is either READ or WRITE

Action:

Verify that the JCL points to the correct areas and revise if an error is found. If the JCL contains no errors, reinitialize the area by executing the DBUTLTY INIT function, then reload the area with the DBUTLTY LOAD function.
