CBS HEURISTIC INDEX IS FULL

The index used for heuristic CBS data is full. It is a base defined by the MUF startup option CBS.

The current request will continue without preserving new information about optimization. The index area needs to be made larger when the MUF is next recycled.

The index used for CBS processing is full. It is the base defined by the MUF startup option CBS or CBS_TEMP_DBID.

INDEX

The ADDIT or UPDAT request was denied because all of the space allocated for the index is being
used. Although no empty blocks exist, other key values can be
added if all blocks are not totally
full.

Execute the DBUTLTY EXTEND AREA=IXX function to enlarge the Index Area, or delete some of the current index entries.

When the Compound Boolean Selection temporary index fills up, the Index Area is automatically cleared when the User Requirements Table closes.

The attempt by the Multi-User
Facility to extend an Index Area supported by dynamic extend that became full failed due to an
MVS Sx37 abend.

If a record-at-a-time ADDIT
command is being done, a 2-byte
MVS system abend code can be
found in bytes 26 and 27 of the Request Area. The reason code associated with the abend is
saved in bytes 28 through 31 of
the Request Area.

See the appropriate IBM documentation to determine the nature of the Sx37 abend. Correct the problem according to the IBM directions.
