Issue/Introduction

When copying a tablespace using Quick Copy for Db2 for z/OS (PQC) the job fails with error message PQC0239E:

PQC0293I THE VSAM DATA SET DOES NOT EXIST FOR TABLESPACE dbname.tsname
PQC0239E NO OBJECTS PASSED FILTERING - IMAGE COPY UTILITY TERMINATING

The job terminates with a Return Code 16.
Is it possible to allow processing to continue rather than the job fail?

Cause

The tablespace has been defined with DEFINE NO.

Resolution

The Return Code 16 is generated as a result of the setting for parameter RC-NO-OBJECTS-SELECTED in the UTIL PARMLIB member.

RC-NO-OBJECTS-SELECTED (0016) /* RC WHEN NO OBJECTS FOUND IN CATALOG */

To allow processing to continue, amend the RC-NO-OBJECTS-SELECTED parameter in your UTIL PARMLIB member to set a different Return Code.
If you set this parameter to (0004) and no objects are to be copied, then the next utility statement is processed.

If a value greater than 4 is coded then no other statements in the step are processed.
