z/OS MVS System Messages, Vol 8 (IEF-IGD)
SA38-0675-02

IEF863I
DSN=dsname jobname RC=returncode

Explanation

During initiation of a job, the system found that a data set is not available to the job named in preceding message IEF861I. This message appears for each data set that is not available.

In the message text:
dsname
The name of the data set that is not available.
jobname
The job name.
returncode
The hexadecimal return code from the ENQ macro. See z/OS MVS Programming: Authorized Assembler Services Reference EDT-IXG for more information on the hexadecimal return code from the ENQ macro.
Note: The return code will most likely be a X'04', which indicates that the data set is being used by another address space, job, or started task.

System action

The system issues one of the following messages to explain the status of the job:
  • IEF099I

  • IEF452I

  • IEF458D

Operator response

If the return code was X'04', determine which address space, job, or started task is using the data set by issuing the following command:
D GRS,RES=(SYSDSN,dsname)
If applicable, wait for the data set to become available. If waiting for the data set to become available is not applicable, or for return codes other than X'04', contact the System Programmer and provide this information for instructions on how to proceed.

System programmer response

See Operator Response. See the return code information listed for the ENQ service in z/OS MVS Programming: Authorized Assembler Services Reference EDT-IXG and take action accordingly. Considering the output provided by the D GRS command, take one of the following actions:
  • Wait for the data set to be released.
  • Cancel the address space, job, or started task that is using the data set.
  • Contact the owner of the address space, job or started task that is holding the data set for instructions on how to get the data set released.
