Issue/Introduction

When issuing the command:

DCMT VARY PROGRAM XYZ NEW COPY

The system responds with:

IDMS DC262911 V1 PROGRAM XYZ NOT FOUND

even though program XYZ does exist.

Environment

Release : All supported releases.
Component : CA IDMS

Resolution

The DCMT VARY PROGRAM ... NEW COPY command is used to reload the program in order to bring in a new version.

The DC262911 doesn't mean the program can't be found in the dictionary or load-library.
It means the program was not found in memory at the time.
Effectively, the NEW COPY attempt is not necessary because the new version will be loaded the next time it is called.
