Application Execution (AE) Messages › › IDAETER101 - VSAM Error: Reason for error

Reason:

An IBM VSAM error occurred. $ERROR-DVW-STATUS = mm-nnn and $ERROR-DVW-INTERNAL-STATUS = iiff-xxccrr contain information about the error:

mmT 05: 1Decimal return code
nnn: Decimal reason code
ii: CA Ideal internal function code
ff: CA Ideal VSAM function code
xx: Hexadecimal return code
cc: Hexadecimal component code
rr: Hexadecimal reason code

Note: This error can occur on any operating system including CICS.

The reason for the error portion of the message can show the following:

Duplicate record. You tried to insert a record with a duplicate key and no WHEN DUPLICATE clause in the FOR NEW statement is specified.
Duplicate key. The FOR EACH statement retrieved a record for which another record with the same key follows, and the index is UNIQUE.
Exclusive control conflict. Another user holds exclusive control for the control interval for record to be updated.
Data set cannot be extended. VSAM cannot allocate additional DASD storage space for an insert or update request.
Invalid RBA value. The RBA specified in the WHERE clause does not give the address of any data record in the dataset.
Changing primary key. You tried to update the primary key.
AIX occurrences exceed max. The maximum number of pointers in the alternate index was exceeded.
Invalid RRN value. The relative record number in the WHERE clause is too large.
Insufficient virtual storage. Insufficient virtual storage in your address space to complete the request.
Invalid pointer in AIX. No base record is associated with an alternate index pointer. A record was deleted from the base cluster, but the pointer remains in the alternate index.
See dataview status. If the error reason is other than those above, use the status and internal status fields and an appropriate IBM VSAM guide to determine the reason for the error.

Action:

If the message does not provide a specific reason, the Dataview Status and Internal Status fields provide codes that should be interpreted using the appropriate IBM VSAM guide.
