ARCHIVE DATA SET NAME PREFIX EXCEEDS MAXIMUM OF 22 CHARACTERS

Reason:

Sysparms ARC0NAME, ARCCNAME, MERPnNAM, MERCnNAM, or MERTnNAM (or, if specified, the DSN parameters from the //ARCHIVE0, //ARCHIVEC or //ARCHIVEn DD statements) provide one or more high-level index names to be used when building a data set name. For archives on disk, CADisk always appends 22 characters to the prefix. Because a data set name can contain only 44 characters, the maximum length of the prefix is 22.

For archives on tape, CADisk by default also appends 22 characters to the prefix, or will use only the prefix as the archive data set name, depending on the value of sysparm ARCTNAME.

A user 200 abend terminates processing after this message.

Action:

Correct the DD statement or sysparm, or specify sysparm ARCTNAME, and resubmit the job.

Note: For more information, see the description of sysparm ARC0TYPEd in the Systems Guide.
