How about this one: 0ADR472E (009)-NEWDS(06), UNABLE TO SELECT A TARGET VOLUME FOR DATA SET SVS.RESZP1.OMVS.ROOT IN CATALOG CATALOG.TEST, 04
You'd think the volume was full. But in the end, I found out that the dataset name was already in use. And not the one listed, but the name I was trying to renunc to!

Am I just getting more cranky as I age, or are IBM messages getting ever more obtuse? I just submitted a simple JCL error. Just put in a VOL=SER=XXXXXX where XXXXXX is a volume we do not have in our shop. Should be a simple error, with a simple IBM Message saying "That VOLSER does not exist, or is not online" (dummy). I would swear that used to be some such. But what I got was EDG8197I VOLUME HFS009 IS NOT DFSMSrmm MANAGED Here is the expanded JCL. so you might see that it is not talking about tape. and NO, F83D is not a tape unit address, it is the unit address of HFS000, and that was my typo. XXDASD DD DISP=OLD,UNIT=/&U,VOL=SER=&V IEFC653I SUBSTITUTION JCL - DISP=OLD,UNIT=/F83D,VOL=SER=HFS009 There are a number of other examples of this, but now I am going to start keeping track of them. This message is worse than useless, it misleads the unwary into thinking that RMM is involved in the problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
