ERROR ALLOCATING IDCAMS SORT WORK FILE - EXTERNAL SORT CANNOT BE PERFORMED

Reason:

This message is issued when CADisk is restoring an alternate index for a VSAM cluster and it needs to invoke IDCAMS to perform BLDINDEX processing. CADisk has determined that the IDCUT1 and IDCUT2 DD statements were not specified in the JCL, so CADisk attempts to dynamically allocate them. However, an error was encountered that prevented their allocation. The exact cause of the error is detailed in a previous error message. CADisk does not terminate processing, however, since it may be possible for IDCAMS to build the index in memory and not require the external sort work files.

Action:

If the BLDINDEX fails because the IDCUT1 and IDCUT2 DD statements are not allocated, you will need to either correct the cause of the allocation error or include the IDCUT1 and IDCUT2 DD statements in your restore JCL, then resubmit the job.
