POINT FOR DATA CA AT RBA=99999999 FAILED RC=9999 REASON CODE=9999

Reason:

The problem occurred during read processing for a VSAM KSDS using the control interval access method. A POINT was issued to position the data set to the next non-contiguous CA, and VSAM indicated that the POINT failed. The reason for the failure may be looked up in the IBM MVS Messages Guide, message number IDC3009I.

If this situation occurs, the system terminates the reading and all processing for the VSAM cluster.

This message should never happen. If the problem occurs, it indicates a logic error either in VSAM or CADisk.
