Getting 'TLD001 for the TNTDD file' when importing

Products

• Telon Application Generator

Issue/Introduction

Importing exported source into the Telon Design Facility and encountering:
    TLD001 for the TNTDD file
message, indicating that there are problems with the Telon VSAM files.

Why is this occurring?

Environment

Telon Application Generator, release 5.1

Resolution

Getting a TLD001 on an Import usually means there are problems with the VSAM files.

In this case, it was the TNTDD file, which was empty. 

Doing a daily Backup and Restore of the Telon VSAM files, please ensure that the DEL/DEF is with a REPRO.

-----

If a Telon VSAM file is to be restored, all the Telon VSAM files must be restored from the same date/time backup to be in SYNC. You cannot isolate a single VSAM file from the TDF database without running into problems.  To create an entirely new set database files, run JIDCAMS (in CAWLINST) using CTDFVSAM as input, but instead of using the CAWLVSMI members to initialize the files, use your old backup set of VSAM files; i.e., use your backup TNTDD to initialize your 5.1 TNTDD, use your backup TNTCCL to initialize your 5.1 TNTCCL, etc.
