Issue/Introduction

A Datacom DBUTLTY EXTEND abends with a IEC032I E37-08,  RETURN CODE 65 (042) and error message:

IGD17279I VOLUMES WERE REJECTED BECAUSE OF A DADSM FAILURE (044E0097)

Environment

Release: 15.1

Cause

Datacom has no control over the allocation of extents. It just requests z/OS ( in this case SMS)  to allocate an extent.
The EXTEND failed due to SMS errors. The cause is DADSM code 044E0097 which means:

 X'04' X'4E'    X'00'    X'97'    Requested space exceeds 65535 tracks for a data set type that is limited to 65535 tracks per volume. Striped (extended format), PDSE, VSAM, and HFS data sets can exceed 65535 tracks.

Resolution

Do one of the following:

• Run the EXTEND with less tracks so the file has less than a total of 65535 tracks per volume
  
  
• Add more volumes to the file, article 33629 - Adding volumes to SMS-managed database files in Datacom explains how to do this.
