msg CKR1404 with Alloc .........DSNPREF= and DELETE keyword

  • 1.  msg CKR1404 with Alloc .........DSNPREF= and DELETE keyword

    Posted Mon November 15, 2021 01:35 PM

    I've written a CARLa that use Alloc type=smf DSNPREF=x.y.z

    My input SMF files are more than 100.

    As mentioned in CARLa command reference, execution end with RC=8 and msg CKR1404.

    My questions are:

    -CARLa execution end at 100th input ?

    -the suggest is use DELETE keyword in Alloc, but seems that Delete uncatalog and delete input file-

    -In which mode I can process all my SMF input

    Hello Gianfranco,

    From the zSecure Admin UI you can obtain online message help by typing: msg ckr1404

    where you will see:

    "This message indicates that an "ALLOC DSNPREF" statement for "TYPE=SMF"

    yielded more than 100 data set name matches. Only the alphabetically first

    100 will be processed."

    Therefore you cannot use DSNPREF if you really need to allocate more than 100 separate SMF datasets without deleting the first 100 processed.

    You would not want to use DELETE here, as you presumably do not want to delete these SMF datasets.

    You could try running your report in batch and using a DD concatenation for your SMF datasets, but I'm not sure how much data is contained in each of your SMF datasets. This could be a very large amount of data to process, perhaps requiring large amounts of CPU and storage.

    Regards, Mike
