IEB555E
DISKETTE READER DIRECTORY ERROR

Explanation

The diskette reader issued a STOW or BLDL macro instruction to access the directory of the SYSUT3 intermediate file. The STOW or BLDL could not be successfully completed for one of the following reasons:
  • Not enough directory blocks were allocated for the SYSUT3 file, (applicable to STOW only).
  • The directory access failed because of permanent I/O errors.
  • Insufficient virtual storage was available to perform the STOW or BLDL function.

System action

The diskette reader is ended.

Operator response

If the number of associated data sets to be processed (PARM= value) or the number of directory entry blocks allocated to the SYSUT3 file were modified via the START command, insure that the values were reasonable. The number of associated data sets should not be so large as to leave no virtual storage for the STOW function. The number of directory entry blocks should be 1 + (number of ADS ÷ 20). If these values were reasonable, the error was caused by an I/O error in the SYSUT3 file. Correct the cause of the error if possible, and start the diskette reader again to run the job stream.

Programmer response

Correct the number of associated data sets and number of directory entry blocks specified in the JCL. Then rerun the diskette reader.
