IHJ000I
CHECKPOINT jjj [ ,sss [.ppp] ] (ddname) NOT TAKEN (xxx [-www] ) [MODULE=module-name]

Explanation

During processing of a CHKPT macro instruction, an error occurred before the checkpoint routine wrote any part of a checkpoint entry.

In the message text:
jjj
The jobname.
sss
The stepname.
ppp
The procedure step name.
ddname
The data definition name of the checkpoint data set. Omitted if xxx is 001.
xxx
Indicates why the checkpoint entry was not written.
www
When it appears, further describes the problem.
module-name
The module in which an error was detected.

Reason code 114 is issued with a return code of 8 when a checkpoint is attempted in a step using UNIX System Services MVS™ functions.

System action

A checkpoint entry was not written. The current checkpoint is not eligible for restart, but all previous valid checkpoints are eligible for deferred restarts, and the last valid checkpoint entry is eligible for automatic restart. In some cases, an SVC dump will be written.

If MOD is not the disposition of the checkpoint data set and if this is the first issuance of the CHKPT macro instruction after the data control block for the data set was opened, then all checkpoint entries in the data set are lost. (The data control block may have been opened by the programmer or as a result of this checkpoint request.) However, if xxx is 001, no entries are lost.

If xxx is 048, the system ends media manager processing.

System programmer response

If the error recurs and the program is not in error, look at the messages in the job log for more information. Search problem reporting data bases for a fix for the problem. If no fix exists, contact the IBM® Support Center. Provide the JCL, the logrec data set error record, and all printed output and output data sets related to the problem. Obtain the ABEND dump for the failing job step. If the JCL for the step did not contain a DD statement for an ABEND dump, add one of the following and run the job step again. Use a SYSMDUMP DD statement if you plan to analyze and format the dump with the interactive problem control system (IPCS).
  • SYSABEND DD statement
  • SYSMDUMP DD statement
  • SYSUDUMP DD statement

Programmer response

See z/OS DFSMSdfp Checkpoint/Restart for the reason codes for the IHJ messages. Find the value of xxx under the heading 'Reason Codes for IHJ Messages,' and follow the programmer response for that reason code. After correcting the problem, resubmit the job, if appropriate.

Ensure that a checkpoint is not issued when the step is using UNIX System Services MVS functions or eliminate the use of UNIX System Services MVS functions from the step.
