Issue/Introduction
When running the job for PTF LU03950, I get the U2048 Abend and the following error.
DATACOM.MUF14.IDDAT SUMMARY OF UTIL
RESTORE NOCLEAR(R)
SELECTIVE BACKUP FILE USED. CREATION DATE - 06/02/22 TIME - 1438
NO FREE DATA BLOCKS LEFT ON LIBRARY
RUN CANCELLED. ERROR CODE IS 0209
Google says this about the error:
(This abend was issued from VLSUTIL, the VLS Batch Utility under z/OS or VSE.)
Reason: The library is full. There are no available data blocks.
Action: Ask your Site Administrator to create a backup file of the library and to redefine and reformat the file with a different space allocation. Restore the data from a backup file.
How do I back up, restore, and format?
Cause
The utility was adding more lines to certain members, or adding more members, and this action filled the currently defined library.
Resolution
There is a Zip file attached with JCL that will allocate a new VLS file and format it based on the size given by the user. It will then copy all the members from the current VLS file into this new file, and rename the new file to the original name (the original file is renamed to a different name to hold it).
Note that because this job will rename both of the VLS files, the job will need exclusive control of the VLS files. If the current file is being used in your CICS region, you will need to shut down any CICS region that has this file allocated (or deallocate the file without shutting down CICS), and then stop all Ideal batch activity that might also access the file.
After the job is done and you have verified that it was successful, you can resume your Ideal batch processing and start your CICS regions (or allocate the file once more).
There is also a separate standalone JCL in the Zip file that will run the VLSUTIL Library function.
