Issue/Introduction

Running LDE using auto-detect feature (??) in LDEPARM.   The LDESA job fails with a ABEND=U0204 and contains the following message:

+LDE90013E: End of file occurred during AutoDetection

 

Cause

This abend can occur if *all* of the input datasets supplied to MALDERV program contains no records.   
In addition, If the first DD supplied on the concatenation is empty and contains a invalid record format, then this abend will occur even if the additional input files supplied in the concatenation contain data.  
For example,
Organization  . . . :PS       Current Utilization,                    
Record format . . . :U        Used cylinders  . . :0                
Record length . . . :0        Used extents  . . . :0                
Block size  . . . . :32760   

Resolution

In the case where all of the input data is empty, check with your IMS team as to why the IMS LOG files being supplied are empty.   
In the case where there are multiple datasets supplied as input, but only the first one is empty and results in this abend due to a invalid record format, code
the DCB information on the first dataset to force the correct record format.  Doing so will allow the MALDERV program to read past the first empty dataset and process the remaining 
datasets in the concatenation.
