Issue/Introduction

When trying to access an existing application in ADSA, it returns error message:

DC450102 Application xxxxxxxx version nnn does not exist; select ADD to create

Environment

Release: All supported releases.
Component: ADS

Resolution

Make sure the correct DICTNAME is set - the one where the application resides.

If a LOADLIST other than SYSLOAD is set, be sure it contains an entry for the DICTNAME where the application resides or an entry that will use the DICTNAME the user has set by DCUF or PROFILE.

If the application is defined as a PROGRAM in the SYSGEN, be sure that it is defined as DYNAMIC. This is especially important if the application resides in a dictionary that is not the default dictionary. If it is NODYNAMIC then it needs to be changed to DYNAMIC and the system re-generated.

Another possible problem is that the program is disabled. Do a DCMT D PRO appl_name

If it is disabled and out of service do a DCMT V PRO appl_name ENABLE to re-enable it.
