BMC74383E ARC/VSAM RESTART FAILED, REASON=reason, RC=rc, DDN=ddname
Explanation: During restart processing for a VSAM data set, APPLICATION
RESTART CONTROL (AR/CTL) for VSAM encountered an error that made restart
impossible. The reason code (reason) and the return code (rc) shown in the message
provides the reason why restart processing failed or could not be continued. The
following reason codes are possible:
1 A mismatch was found in the number of VSAM data sets present at restart.
A data set present in the previous execution was missing from this
execution, or a data set present in this execution was not present in the
previous execution.
2 An invalid condition was detected for a VSAM data set that was being
repositioned during restart processing. The return code (rc) provides
additional information about the invalid condition.
The following return codes are possible:
1 A data set present in the previous execution was missing from this
execution.
2 A data set present in this execution was not present in the previous
execution.
3 A data set present in this execution has different device type allocation
values (for example, DASD, TAPE, SYSIN) than the original data set.
4 The data set being repositioned has different block size allocation values
than the original data set.
5 The data set being repositioned has different record format allocation values
than the original data set.
6 The data set being repositioned requires a block count restart for correct
repositioning, but the application program issued a
GU call during the
previous execution. Use of a
GU call prevents AR/CTL from performing a
block count restart.
7 While processing a VSAM
OPEN command, the AR/CTL for VSAM open
processor was unable to build an internal access method control block
(ACB).
8 During restart repositioning, the AR/CTL for VSAM request handler
received a bad return code from MRO/CICS to an
OPEN request.
