So, to summarize: If there is an indexed VTOC and you want it turned OFF, code the following:
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=ICKDSF,PARM='NOREPLYU' //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //VTOC DD UNIT=SYSDA,VOL=SER=xxxxxx,DISP=OLD, // DSN=SYS1.VTOCIX.xxxxxx //SYSIN DD * BUILDIX DDNAME(VTOC) OSVTOC If there is an indexed VTOC that is off and you want it turned ON, code the following: //STEP1 EXEC PGM=ICKDSF,PARM='NOREPLYU' //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //VTOC DD UNIT=SYSDA,VOL=SER=xxxxxx,DISP=OLD, // DSN=SYS1.VTOCIX.xxxxxx //SYSIN DD * BUILDIX DDNAME(VTOC) IXVTOC If there is no indexed VTOC and you want it allocated and turned on, code the following: //STEP1 EXEC PGM=ICKDSF,PARM='NOREPLYU' //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //VTOC DD UNIT=SYSDA,VOL=SER=xxxxxx,DISP=(,KEEP), // DSN=SYS1.VTOCIX.xxxxxx,SPACE=(TRK,30,,CONTIG) //SYSIN DD * BUILDIX DDNAME(VTOC) IXVTOC Finally, if there is an indexed VTOC and you want it turned OFF *and* DELETED, code the following: //STEP1 EXEC PGM=ICKDSF,PARM='NOREPLYU' //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //VTOC DD UNIT=SYSDA,VOL=SER=xxxxxx,DISP=OLD, // DSN=SYS1.VTOCIX.xxxxxx //SYSIN DD * BUILDIX DDNAME(VTOC) OSVTOC PURGE --------------------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of J R Sent: Wednesday, December 16, 2009 8:58 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: ICKDSF QUESTION - BUILDIX Try DISP=(NEW,KEEP) > Date: Wed, 16 Dec 2009 05:17:43 -0800 > From: esmie_...@yahoo.ca > Subject: Re: ICKDSF QUESTION - BUILDIX > To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu > > David, > > I noticed in the job output the following (after I changed the jcl to > DISP=NEW): > > IEC614I SCRATCH FAILED - RC 008, DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION IS (04180036), > ,SYBSS1,SYS1.VTOCIX.SYBSS1 > IEF142I ICKDSF15 STEP01 - STEP WAS EXECUTED - COND CODE 0000 > IEF283I SYS1.VTOCIX.SYBSS1 NOT DELETED 8 > IEF283I VOL SER NOS= SYBSS1 2. > > I am not sure why this would be since the error was SYS1.VTOCIX.
