SO8B Abends

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 Global VCAT or Local VCAT, when the data set has not been initialized. An error message that indicates a problem may precede abends. Looking up the S08B reason code in the IBM System Codes manual allows you to relate the S08B abend to the preceding error messages.
