Issue/Introduction

The IDMS CV abends with S722 in the log file. The IDMS LOG is directed to sequential file CDMSLOGA instead of database in the SYSTEM statement in the SYSGEN. 

 

Environment

Release : 19.0

Cause

The S722 means the output limit in z/OS was exceeded. Too many lines were written to the CDMSLOGA file.

Resolution

To prevent the S722 abend do the following:

• Switch the log to DATABASE. Change the SYSTEM statement to specify:
  LOG DATABASE
  
  
• Prevent task snaps being written to the log with DCMT V SNAP TASK OFF.
  
  
• Find out the output limit in the operating system and specify a count in the SYSGEN to limit the number of records written to the log file. 
  It will then either switch to FILE2 if specified or reopen FILE1. For example to change the limit to 95,000 lines specify in the SYSTEM statement:
  LOG FILE1 CDMSLOGA COUNT1 950000 FILE2 CDMSLOGB COUNT2 950000
