IXC279D
REPLY R TO USE altdsname ON altvolser TO REPAIR DATA FOR typename OR S TO STOP

Explanation

The system has detected a problem with the primary couple data set. Initialization using the primary couple data set can not continue. XCF was unable to determine automatically that the alternate couple data set can be used to recover the primary couple data set. The name of the primary couple data set with the error was printed in message IXC249I.

In the message text:
altdsname
The name of the alternate couple data set.
altvolser
The DASD volume where the alternate data set resides.
typename
The type of data contained in the data set.

System action

Couple data set initialization and possibly system initialization processing stops until the operator replies to this message.

Operator response

Choose one of the following replies:
R
To allow XCF to attempt to repair the primary couple data set from the information contained on the alternate couple data set. This action should only be selected if it is known that the alternate listed in this message and the primary listed in message IXC249I are the last ones used by the sysplex and have not been reformatted or restored since they were last used.
S
To stop XCF from repairing the primary couple data set. This response will prevent XCF from completing the couple data set initialization.
If an incorrect reply is entered, the system issues message IXC208I to notify the operator of the error. The system then reissues message IXC279D.

System programmer response

The reason for XCF having to take this repair action should be determined and action taken to correct the cause. See the system programmer response for message IXC249I.
