IDAETER111 - VSAM Open Error: Reason for ERROR

Reason:

The VSAM base cluster or one of the alternate paths could not be opened successfully. DDNAME or the DLBL file name is shown on the LIST ERROR display. The reason code is shown under DATAVIEW Status.

The Reason for Error portion of the message lists the most common error situations possible at Open time:

• Missing DD statement (for z/OS sites) or missing or invalid DLBL (for VSE sites).

  JCL DD or DLBL statement is missing or invalid. The DDNAME in the RUNLIST normally points to the JCL statement in error.

  In VSE, this can also occur when the data set specified is not present in the CATALOG determined by the user's DLBL statement or when the CATALOG DLBL statement is missing.

• Data set has empty AIX.

  Data set could not be opened for update because it contains an empty alternate index.

• Update by another user.

  Either another user opened the data set for update or the data set was previously not properly closed.

• Path is empty.

  Attempted access through an empty path.

• Not enough storage space.

  Insufficient virtual storage space is available in your program's address space for processing the data set. This situation can occur if your CA Ideal session specified a STRNO value that is too high for the memory available.

• See DATAVIEW status.

  To determine the reason for the error, check the codes in the Status and Internal status fields. The format of the codes is described in the explanation to message AETER101. Check an appropriate IBM VSAM guide to decode the error.

Action:

The action depends on the reason for the error. Consult an appropriate IBM VSAM guide for additional information.
