(ttt)-mmmmm(yy) DATA SET dsname IN CATALOG catalog_name ON VOLUME volume_serial_number REQUIRES VALIDATE TO BE PROCESSED AS AN OPEN DATA SET

Explanation

DFSMSdss was requested to dump the data set as an open data set by a data base application, such as Information Management System (IMS™), through the application programming interface. But the data set is an indexed VSAM data set, and VALIDATE is required to dump that type of data set as an open data set.

System action

The data set is not processed, the return code is 8, and processing continues with the next data set.

Operator response

None.

Programmer response

You must change the data base application to specify VALIDATE rather than NOVALIDATE.
