Issue/Introduction

When adding an element, why am I getting an allocation error:
 

C1E0116E  RC=0210-0000 ALLOCATION ERROR  - iprfx.iqual.BASE                                                
C1G0268E  ELEMENT RECORD WAS NOT FOUND FOR ELEMENT IN ENV: ENV1 SYS: TEST SBS: TEST STAGE 1                    
C1G0277I  ADD PROCESSING TERMINATED BECAUSE OF THE PREVIOUS ERROR                                               
C1G0200I  ELEMENT ACTION REQUEST PROCESSING COMPLETED, HIGHEST ENDEVOR RC WAS 0012                              
                     END OF EXECUTION LOG - HIGHEST ENDEVOR RC = 0012                                              

Environment

Release:
Component: ENDBAS

Resolution

The return code, RC=0210-0000, indicates the dataset was not available to Endevor. Another task had an exclusive enqueue on file. Once the enqueue was removed, the Endevor job could run without problem.  Check for other taks that may have hold on dataset.
