START COMMAND DEVICE ALLOCATION ERROR

Explanation

A START command invoked a cataloged procedure. While allocating the device specified on the command, the system detected an error.

System action

The system rejects the command.

Operator response

Contact the system programmer. Enter the command again, as directed by the system programmer.

System programmer response

Do the following:

  1. Look in the system output (SYSOUT) data set for messages associated with this START command. These messages describe errors found in the source JCL or in the overriding JCL statements generated from the START command.

    If the MSGCLASS for Started Tasks is a DUMMY class, you may need to change it to a real message class temporarily in order to get the JES Job Log for the failing START command. Do this in one of the following ways:

    • Add the desired MSGCLASS to the START command. For example, add:
      S procedurename,MSGCLASS=A
    • Change the MSGCLASS for all STCs using a $TJOBCLASS command, and then change the MSGCLASS back to what it was. For example:
      1. First change the MSGCLASS using the $TJOBCLASS command:
        $TJOBCLASS(STC),MSGCLASS=A
      2. Now run the failing started task.
      3. Finally, change the MSGCLASS back to what it was using a $TJOBCLASS command:
        $TJOBCLASS(STC),MSGCLASS=Z
  2. If the command fails again, search problem reporting data bases for a fix for the problem. If no fix exists, contact the IBM® Support Center.
Once the failing JCL statements are identified, correct those JCL statements in the procedure or job, or any catalog entries which caused the error messages to be issued. Ask the operator to enter the command again.
