ETCL014E DBASE recovery not possible.

Environment

Release : 12.1

Component : Cleanup for Top Secret

Resolution

Cleanup makes every attempt possible to preserve the             
original DBASE if an error or abend occurs while it is              
being updated by the #DBU program.                                  
                                                                    
However, some abends, such as Sx22 abends (S122, S222, S322, S722)  
do not allow the recovery routine to perform any 'retry'            
processing, only 'cleanup' or percolation.                          
                                                                    
This means that the file I/O required to restore the DBASE          
from the internal DBBACKUP file is not allowed, and any             
attempt to perform such a restoration will likely result in         
an unsatisfied WAIT, causing the job to hang.                       
                                                                    
For this reason, it is recommended that the #DBU JOB:               
1) NEVER be CANCELed                                                
2) NOT have a  TIME   parameter specified.                          
3) NOT have an OUTLIM parameter specified.                          
4) Possibly reference a GDG+1 dataset on the DBBACKUP DD.
