IDDVSEDP08 Dataview dvw-name is resource of PROD pgm(s) - cannot be edited

Reason:

If a program uses an unmodeled sequential file dataview as a resource while that program is marked to PROD status, the sequential file dataview cannot be altered.

Action:

The Administrator should determine all PROD programs that use the dataview dvw-name as a resource (for instance, using Datadictionary reports along the PGM-DVW-USE relationship). There are a number of alternative activities that you can then pursue, two of which are described below:

• DUPLICATE the dataview to a NEWNAME, making the editing changes in the new dataview you wanted to make in dvw-name DUPLICATE each of the PROD programs related to dvw-name to NEXT VERSION (as appropriate: it can be possible that some of your PROD programs continue to use the old DATAVIEW); and replace the dataview dvw-name with the NEWNAME dataview in those programs' resource sections.
• MARK each of the PROD status programs (as appropriate) to HIST status. This deletes the object modules for those programs unless these programs were converted to load modules, the programs are no longer accessible in CA Ideal. Now edit the dataview dvw-name DUPLICATE the HIST programs to NEXT VERSION.

Edit, compile, test, and MARK the programs to PROD status as appropriate for the dataview changes. CREATE load modules as appropriate.
