Issue/Introduction
The following error messages are issued when trying to execute an IDMS ADS dialog or ADSA application:
DC171028 APPLICATION NOT EXECUTED. DIALOG LOAD MODULE <name> MISSING DC466018 Unable to display source.
However, the dialog or application does exist either in the load area of the dictionary or in the load library. What else could cause this error?
Environment
Release: All supported releases.
Component: ADS.
Cause
The DC171028 error message can also be caused by the following:
- The dialog is not defined in the SYSGEN correctly.
- The dialog exists in a different dictionary to the one currently set.
- If the <name> in the message is an ADSA application name it means the application has not been defined in the ADSO TAT. Another reason could be that the TAT has been disabled.
- A user defined loadlist is in use which does not include the dictionary the dialog resides in
- The program has been disabled
- There is insufficient space in the program pools to load the dialog
Resolution
Follow the following procedure to determine the cause of the problem.
ADS Dialogs
A dialog can be defined automatically at runtime or explicitly in the SYSGEN. For automatic definition, the SYSTEM statement in the SYSGEN must specify the UNDEFINED PROGRAM COUNT parameter. Ensure that a secondary allocation count is specified and that the FOR parameter is ALL or include DIALOGS.
For explicit program definition with a PROGRAM statement in the SYSGEN, identify the location of the dialog, either DICTNAME IS SYSTEM-DEFAULT or LOADLIB. Ensure that this location is defined correctly. Note that it is not possible to define dialogs that reside in secondary dictionaries in the SYSGEN.
Enter the command DCMT D PROGRAM <dialogname>. This will display the dialog definition in the current dictionary or in the loadlib.
D PRO dialogname Program Name dialogname Version 1 Type DIALOG MAINLINE Type DICTIONARY Language ADSO Dictname APPLDICT Size (bytes) 00001660 Dictnode ISA size 00000000 Database key 00070184:008 Status ENABLED AND INSRV Storage Prot YES Dynamic ALLOWED Residence IN POOL AT 36B06C00 Reusable YES Threading CONCURRENT Reentrant FULLY REENTRANT Overlayable NO Tasks use ct 000 New Copy ENABLED Times called 00000001 Times loaded 000001 PGM chk thrh 005 Pgm check ct 000 Dump thrh 000 Dump ct 000 Amode ANY Rmode ANY PDE address 36519884 MPmode SYSTEM Savearea NO Mult Enclave
Check the following items:
- The Status is not disabled, it should be ENABLED AND INSRV.
- The Type is correct, either DICTIONARY or LOADLIB.
- If there is a Dictname, that it is the correct dictionary name where the dialog resides in.
If the program is disabled, issue the following commands to enable it:
DCMT VARY PROGRAM <name> ENABLE DCMT VARY PROGRAM <name> NEW COPY
If the DICTIONARY or LOADLIB specification is incorrect this indicates the program was defined in the SYSGEN incorrectly.
If message DC262911 V12 PROGRAM <dialogname> DICTNAME: NOT FOUND is issued in response to the DCMT D PROGRAM command then it means it could not find the program in the loadlib or in the current dictionary. Check that the current session profile is set to the correct dictionary by doing a DCUF SHOW DICTNAME. Also check the loadlist in use, issue a DCUF SHOW LOADLIST to show the loadlist in use then DCMT D LOADLIST <name>. If no loadlist is set issue a DCMT D LOADLIST to display the default loadlist:
D LOADLIST *** Loadlist Table Display for System 90 *** System Loadlist SYSLOAD Type Version Dictnode/Dictname
LOADLIST SYSLOAD Dict USER-DEF USER-DEF Dict USER-DEF SYST-DEF Loadlib USER-DEF Dict 00001 USER-DEF Dict 00001 SYST-DEF
If loadling from a dictionary, ensure the loadlist specifies the USER-DEF dictionary. If loadling from the load library ensure it specifies Loadlib
ADSA Application
If the program name in the error message is an ADSA application name, check the task code for the application has ben defined in the TAT.
Display the contents of the TAT with:
DCMT D TAT
Use the ADSOTATU task code to add the application name to the TAT.
Check the status of the TAT using the command DCMT D PRO $ACF@TAT
D PRO $ACF@TAT Program Name $ACF@TAT Version 1 Type TABLE Type DICTIONARY Language ASM Dictname Size (bytes) 00000172 Dictnode ISA size 00000000 Database key 00070376:001 Status ENABLED AND INSRV Storage Prot NO Dynamic ALLOWED Residence IN POOL AT 2D95B600 Reusable YES Threading CONCURRENT Reentrant FULLY REENTRANT Overlayable NO Tasks use ct 000 New Copy ENABLED Times called 00000001 Times loaded 000001 PGM chk thrh 005 Pgm check ct 000 Dump thrh 000 Dump ct 000 Amode ANY Rmode ANY PDE address 2D5ED20C MPmode SYSTEM Savearea NO Mult Enclave
Check that the status is not disabled, it should be ENABLED AND INSRV. If the program is disabled, issue the following commands to enable it:
DCMT VARY PROGRAM $ACF@TAT ENABLE DCMT VARY PROGRAM $ACF@TAT NEW COPY
Program Pool Space
Finally check that there is sufficient space in the program pools. Dialogs will normally be loaded into the XA reentrant pool provided the task code that invokes it specifies LOCATION ANY. Issue the command DCMT D ACT XA REENT PROG.
D ACT XA REENT PROG. *** Display of XA Reentrant Pool *** Pages in pool 8520 Bytes in pool 4362240 Loads to pool 128 Pages loaded 5132 Load conflicts 0
CURRENT ALLOCATIONS Pages allocated 5132 60% of pool Pages in use by one program 164 2% of pool Pages in use by multiple programs 0 0% of pool High-Water mark of pages allocated 5132 60% of pool Loads into unallocated space 128 100% of loads Loads overlaying program not in use 0 0% of loads Loads overlaying program in use 0 0% of loads
If there are any non-zero values for "Load conflicts" or "Loads overlaying program in use" it indicates the program pool is too small and its size should be increased in the SYSGEN.
