Issue/Introduction

Our jobs failed with abend U0200 and have such messages:
IGD17287I DATA SET dsname   
COULD NOT BE ALLOCATED NORMALLY,                                       
SPACE CONSTRAINT RELIEF (MULTIPLE VOLUMES) WILL BE ATTEMPTED           
IGD17289I DATA SET dsname
COULD NOT BE ALLOCATED WITH SPACE CONSTRAINT RELIEF(MULTIPLE VOLUMES).

Resolution

When looking to the Disk messages you will notice such messages just before the abend occurs:
ADSUT099 3324 NO ROOM IN VTOC OR VTOC INDEX ON VOLUME vvvvv
ADSUT099 3324 FOR DATA SET dsname
ADSUT099 3324 NO ROOM IN VTOC OR VTOC INDEX ON VOLUME vvvvvv
ADSUT099 3324 FOR DATA SET dsname
ADSUT099 3324 ALLOCATION HAS FAILED FOR ALL VOLUMES SELECTED FOR DATA SET                   
ADSUT099 3324 dsname
ADSUT099 3324 THERE WERE 1 CANDIDATE STORAGE GROUPS OF WHICH THE FIRST 1                    
ADSUT099 3324 WERE ELIGIBLE FOR VOLUME SELECTION.                                           
ADSUT099 3324 THE CANDIDATE STORAGE GROUPS WERE:storagegroup                                    
ADSUT099 3324 4 VOLUMES WERE REJECTED BECAUSE OF NO ROOM IN VTOC OR INDEX (041C041B)        
ADSUT099 3324 4 VOLUMES WERE REJECTED BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT SPACE (041A041D) 
ADSTH004*0114 ARCHIVE0 DD STATEMENT MISSING OR COULD NOT BE DYNAMICALLY ALLOCATED           

So the solution is to enlarge the VTOC index and/or add more volumes to the storage group.
