DASD RRRR - VTOC FORMAT ERROR - REASON CODE x

Reason:

This message is displayed on the operator's console to further identify the cause of message TSS0871E. CA Top Secret has detected an error in the VTOC on the DASD volume at real device address rrrr. Reason codes are as follows:

• Invalid VTOC label record format - wrong key length
• Invalid VTOC label record format - wrong data length
• Pointer to a format 2 or format 3 label invalid

Action:

Examine the VTOC or volume. A severe error should cause problems in other systems as well. A data set-by-data set backup operation may expose the offending VTOC label chain. If the volume proves to be intact and the problem persists, contact CA Technical Support.
