Explanation
An HALTERDS command has been issued to alter backup
parameters for the data set dsname.
If return-code is
39, return code reason-code has been received from
the authorization checking program installed on the system. When RACF® is installed, the level of
authorization required to issue the HALTERDS command to the original
data set is ALTER. If reason-code is 0, then there
is a LOCATE error on an AIX® (alternate
index) component.
Additional values for
return-code are
defined for the ARC0186I message to handle errors reading from or
writing to the backup control data set (BCDS) as follows:
- Retcode
- Meaning
- 1
- An error has occurred reading the BCDS B record for the data set. reason-code is
the return code from ARCZREAD.
- 2
- An error has occurred updating the BCDS B record for the data
set. The reason-code is the return code from ARCZUPDT.
- 3
- An error has occurred writing a record for the data set. The reason-code is
the return code from ARCZWRIT.
- 5
- There is a parse error (invalid syntax) in the command.
- 6
- There is error in a catalog entry for a non-VSAM data set.
- 9
- Unsupported data set. The catalog entry shows that the VSAM data
set is a non-SMS-managed data set defined with key ranges.
- 10
- The catalog entry indicates that the data set is a multivolume
data set. If the data set is VSAM, it is not an SMS-managed data set,
and one component is multivolume.
- 12
- The components of a non-SMS VSAM cluster are on different volumes.
- 14
- A LOCATE failure has occurred. The reason-code is
the VSAM catalog return code. A reason-code of
zero is received if the data set is a nonintegrated catalog facility
(ICF) catalog or a VSAM page or swap data set. For detailed information
about the reason-code, see z/OS MVS System Messages, Vol 6 (GOS-IEA) , message
IDC3009I.
- 18
- A LOCATE error has occurred for the data or index component of
the VSAM base cluster.
- 20
- The data set is a data or index component. Only cluster names
are allowed.
- 22
- Password check has failed. reason-code 8 indicates
the password is not specified or the password is incorrectly specified.
- 24
- The data set is a non-VSAM multivolume data set which is not allowed.
- 25
- Inconsistency reading the migration control data set (MCDS) D
record. The dataset is cataloged as MIGRAT, indicating the data set
is migrated. However, an error has occurred reading the D record or
the D record indicates that no migration copy exists (reason-code
= 0). For other reason codes see ARC1325I.
- 28
- A LOCATE error has occurred for a VSAM AIX cluster.
- 30
- The check on allocation authority has failed. The user does not
have allocation authority because a RACF generic
profile exists for the data set and it denies access to the user.
- 38
- A LOCATE error has occurred for the data or index component of
the VSAM AIX cluster.
- 39
- For reason-code=0, LOCATE error has occurred
on an AIX path component. For
any other reason-code, RACF authorization check fails. See message
ARC1139I for reason-code explanation.
- 70
- The ALTERDS or HALTERDS command is not allowed for SMS-managed
data sets.

Programmer response
If it is necessary to alter backup parameters
for data sets to which you do not have the required level of access,
notify the storage administrator or system programmer for assistance.
