PDS Anomalies

CA Disk does extensive testing for errors and inconsistencies in partitioned data sets, and provides installation options for handling PDSs in which logical errors have been detected. Standard default processing is to issue diagnostic messages for the errors, and then bypass them. Consult with your local CA Disk installation and support staff to determine what options are in effect if any of your PDS data sets are diagnosed to have anomalies.

This facility provides an automated means of deciding which data sets on disk should be backed up or archived, and which should be bypassed. This facility does not support PDSE data sets. For more information, see Processing PDSs that Contain Anomalies in the Systems Guide.
