UNSUPPORTED CHAIN FOR NAME VRS name_vrs IN type VRS CHAIN vrs_entry

Explanation

An unsupported vital record specification chain has been detected. The following chains are not supported but cannot be detected at the time a VRS is created:

  • A volume VRS chain cannot use ANDVRS.
  • A vital record specification with EXTRADAYS cannot be chained to using the ANDVRS operand.
  • A vital record specification with the EXTRADAYS retention type cannot chain to a non-retention NAME vital record specification.
  • ANDVRS cannot chain to a NAME VRS which has no retention information.
  • A NAME VRS without retention information cannot specify ANDVRS.
  • An EXTRADAYS NAME VRS cannot specify ANDVRS.

In the message text:

name_vrs
The name of the vital record specification that identifies the point in the chain where the error occurs.
type
This is the type of vital record specification.
One of the following:
  • DSN — It is a data set name in vrs_entry
  • VOL — It is a specific or generic volume serial number in vrs_entry
vrs_entry
This is either the data set name and jobname, or generic volume serial number of the vital record specification at the start of the chain.

System action

Processing continues. A minimum return code of 4 is set. If ANDVRS was used in error, DFSMSrmm processes as if NEXTVRS was specified. If a non-retention vital record specification is chained from an EXTRADAYS vital record specification, the non-retention NAME vital record specification is ignored.

Operator response

None.

System programmer response

Check that the vital record specifications are all correctly defined. If ANDVRS is used to chain to an EXTRADAYS vital record specification, re-define the vital record specification specifying NEXTVRS rather than ANDVRS. If the EXTRADAYS vital record specification chains to a vital record specification that does not include retention information you must remove the non-retention NAME vital record specification from the vital record specification chain. If ANDVRS is used in a volume vital record specification chain, correct the chain to use NEXTVRS.
