CRU114I   AMBIGUOUS GDG EXTENSION FOUND - SPURIOUS ERROR MESSAGE MAY FOLLOW

Explanation

This message applies only to SMF data from systems where the SMF subtype record field (SMF6xSUB) indicating an insert, delete or update is not being provided because current maintenance has not been applied.

It is not possible to tell whether a GDG extension is being built for the first time or whether it is being reused (based solely on this single SMF record). If this is the first use of this extension record, message CRU106I or CRU203I follows but is misleading.

System action

The program assumes that the extension record is being reused (updated) and writes it to the new EXPORT data set — the correct action even if it should have been an insert. The condition code is set to 4 (if not already higher) and processing continues.

Operator response

If message CRU106I or CRU203I follows, it should be ignored.
