WARNING, DSN = (ddd)

INCORRECTLY CATALOGED IN CATALOG=(ccc)

RESULT=(nnn), REASON=(rrr)

Possibly may have:

SYMBOLICRELATE ALIAS DSN=(aaa) IN ERROR

Reason:

CADisk issued a catalog locate to determine which volumes the data set (ddd) resides on. If the value (nnn) is 3, the data set is cataloged to more than 20 volumes. If the value (nnn) is 2, the data set is probably defined in the wrong catalog. This means that the cluster is not defined in the master catalog and either the first qualifier of the data set name is not an alias of a user catalog, or the first qualifier has an alias pointing to a different user catalog.

The last line of this message text is used to show that the ALIAS data set (aaa) points to a real data set (ddd) that does not exist. When an ALIAS is created using SYMBOLICRELATE(xx.&SYSNAME.xx) syntax to link the related data set to the real data set name, and if the real data set has been renamed using a new HLQ, the ALIAS would point to a data set name that no longer exists. Therefore, when archive/backup is executed using DSCL that points to the ALIAS name, “SYMBOLICRELATE ALIAS DSN=(aaa) IN ERROR” is issued.
