Issue/Introduction

After upgrading Datacom/AD from 15.0 to 15.1 and then running INSTJCL job AXACTDD2, it failed in STEP2A with CC of 08 and this error message:

**** ERROR ****  RETURN CODE = DDPNTF0003  NOT FOUND    

Environment

Release : 15.1

Component : Datacom/AD

Cause

This error results from trying to delete a field that is not in the database, normally due to running the job multiple times.

Resolution

The processing of STEP2A in Datacom/AD job AXACTDD2 makes a number of changes to the Datadictionary internal structure as part of the 15.1 upgrades. In this case, the change is a delete of a field from the Datadictionary AREA table:

+GRP START,TABLE,AREA(T999,DD)  
+DEL FIELD,FIL01(T999,DD)       
+END                            

If this job has run previously, the above change produces the error

   **** ERROR ****  RETURN CODE = DDPNTF0003  NOT FOUND

because it is trying to delete a field that has already been deleted from the Datadictionary.

Please scroll to the bottom of the output to review the ERROR RECAP REPORT, and if there are no other errors, restart this job at STEP2B.

Additional Information

As always, please contact Broadcom support for Datacom if you have further questions.
