Issue/Introduction

XCOMT0416E ERROR WRITING OUTPUT FILE ERROR #45 when sending to XCOM for HP Nonstop.  How to resolve this error.

 

Environment

• XCOM™ Data Transport® for HP NonStop
• XCOM™ Data Transport® for z/OS
• XCOM™ Data Transport® for Windows
• XCOM™ Data Transport® for UNIX/Linux PC

Cause

Error XCOMT0416E indicates that the default space allocated for the file on HP Nonstop is too small.

Resolution

• Override this by specifying the SPACE parameter on the sending side. For example, on z/OS, specify

SPACE=(BLK,(xx,yy,zz))

xx is the Primary allocation
yy is the secondary

zz is the total MAXEXTENTS
NOTE: TRK or CYL can be specified instead of BLK

• For example on Linux use
  PRIMARY_ALLOC=xx
  SECONDARY_ALLOC=yy
  NUM_OF_DIR_BLOCKS=zz

• On the HP Nonstop side,  specify DEALLOC_EXTENTS=YES in the XCOMCONF File to deallocate all unused extents past the end of the file.
  A format 2 file is required. Please see the XCOM HP Nonstop User Guide,  page 102
