VSE/ESA Comparator Messages

VSE/ESA Comparator Messages

This chapter describes the VSE/ESA Comparator messages.

ALL SUBSEQUENT SYSIPT DATA FLUSHED DUE TO PRIOR ERROR.

Reason:

A FILE1 * or FILE2 * control statement was found during an execution of the VSE/ESA Comparator. In the analysis of previous control statements, errors were detected. Since any further processing involves opening and performing an input/output operation on a work file (which can, under the circumstances, cause unpredictable results), SYSIPT is flushed and processing is terminated.

Action:

Correct the previous error and resubmit the job.

CONTINUATION NOT FOUND.

Reason:

For the z/OS and OS/390 Comparator (condition code 16), the last nonblank character on the last record read from SYSIN was a comma. The Comparator expected, but did not find, an additional record.

For the VSE/ESA Comparator, the last nonblank character on the last record read from SYSIPT was a comma. The Comparator expected, but did not find, an additional record with the same Comparator control statement operation.

For either version of the Comparator, no comparison was performed.

Action:

Remove the extraneous comma or supply the continued record.

CONTROL STATEMENTS OUT OF SEQUENCE.

Reason:

A WORK1 or WORK2 control statement was found during an execution of the VSE/ESA Comparator. That work file was already used to spool an instream file. No comparison is performed.

Action:

Check the sequence of the work files in the JCL.

'filename' DEVICE TYPE NOT SUPPORTED.

Reason:

The device where the specified VSE/ESA Comparator work or data file is assigned is not a tape or a 2314, 3330, 3340, 3350, or an FBA device. The file is not opened. No comparison is performed.

Action:

Specify a different unit address.

'filename' FILE CONTAINS MORE THAN 10000 RECORDS.

Reason:

The specified VSE/ESA Comparator data file contains more than 10,000 records.

No comparison is performed.

Action:

Split the file.

'filename' FILE CONTAINS NO RECORDS.

Reason:

The specified VSE/ESA Comparator data file contains no records. No File Comparison report is written.

Action:

Verify that you specified the correct file.

INSUFFICIENT STORAGE FOR EXECUTION.

Reason:

Insufficient storage was available for the execution of the Comparator. No comparison is performed. For the z/OS and OS/390 Comparator, the condition code is 16.

Action:

Resubmit the job.

INVALID CONTROL STATEMENT ID (SYSIPT FLUSHED).

Reason:

Columns 1 and 2 of the VSE/ESA Comparator control statement did not contain the Comparator control statement identifier characters currently in effect. No comparison is performed. If the Comparator encounters more than nine invalid control statement identifiers, SYSIPT is flushed and processing is terminated.

Action:

Correct the error and resubmit the job.

INVALID CONTROL STATEMENT OPERATION.

Reason:

Either the VSE/ESA Comparator control statement did not contain CTL, FILE1, FILE2, IDENT, TITLE, WORK1, or WORK2 in the operation field or an EOF statement was in the wrong place. No comparison is performed.

Action:

Correct the error and resubmit the job.

INVALID CONTROL STATEMENT SYNTAX.

Reason:

For the z/OS and OS/390 Comparator (with condition code 16), an z/OS and OS/390 Comparator control statement syntax error was found in the record read from SYSIN. For the VSE/ESA Comparator, a VSE/ESA Comparator control statement syntax error was found in the record read from SYSIPT. For either version of the Comparator, no comparison is performed.

In the COPYDD statement, the field that identified the level number to assign to the first statement of the referenced record entity contained a nonnumeric value.

Action:

Correct the error and resubmit the job.

'keyword' INVALID OR DUPLICATED KEYWORD OR INVALID COMBINATION OF KEYWORDS.

Reason:

The specified VSE/ESA Comparator keyword parameter is not a valid parameter, was already specified on the same control statement, or is invalid with a previously specified parameter. No comparison is performed.

Action:

Correct the error and resubmit the job.

'keyword' KEYWORD VALUE INVALID.

Reason:

The value for the specified VSE/ESA Comparator keyword parameter is invalid.

No comparison is performed.

Action:

Correct the error and resubmit the job.

'filename' LOGICAL UNIT INVALID.

Reason:

The VSE/ESA Comparator DEVADDR= parameter specified for the named file is out of range for this partition.

Action:

Either specify a lower SYSnnn value or change the partition to one containing more programmer logical units.

THE INPUT FILES (EXCLUSIVE OF THEIR SEQUENCE NUMBERS) ARE EQUAL.

Reason:

For an execution of the z/OS and OS/390 Comparator (with condition code 0), the files the SYSUT1 and SYSUT2 DD statements defined are not empty and are identical except for their sequence numbers (which can be identical).

For an execution of the VSE/ESA Comparator, if you did not specify SEQFLD=NONE, FILE1 and FILE2 are not empty and are identical except for their sequence numbers (which can be identical). If you specified SEQFLD=NONE, the files are identical.

No report is produced.

Action:

None.

THE SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE INPUT FILES ARE TOO COMPLEX TO BE UNRAVELED BY THIS PROGRAM.

Reason:

The similarities and differences between FILE1 and FILE2 were too complex for the Comparator to handle.

Action:

No comparison is performed.

*WARNING* IN-STREAM DATA FILE NOT TERMINATED BY EOF CONTROL STATEMENT. MAKE SURE DECK WAS NOT DROPPED.

Reason:

While reading an in-stream data file, the VSE/ESA Comparator encountered either the SYSIPT end-of-file or a record containing the current Comparator control statement identifier characters in columns 1 and 2 and characters other than the string EOF in the operation field. The in-stream file is considered terminated.

Action:

Verify that the in-stream data is complete.
