SO8B Abends

Symptom:

S08B abends are related to the IBM Data-In-Virtual (DIV) access method. These abends typically occur when accessing a control data set, such as the CA Tape Encryption database, when the data set has not been initialized. Abends at other times may be preceded by error messages which indicate the problem encountered.

Solution:

Look up the S08B reason code in the IBM System Codes manual to relate the S08B abend to the preceding error messages.
