I am formatting some new files and am getting errors relating to size.
CONNECT TO SYSTEM ;
Status = 0 SQLSTATE = 00000
FORMAT FILE segment-name.file-name;
Status = -4 SQLSTATE = 5000B Messages follow:
DB002252 C-4M352: Function WRITE DDname ddname - I/O error 12
Command Facility ended with errors
IEC031I D37-04
What’s causing this?
The IDMS database file was being allocated with the EXTREQ values in the "Data set name type" field (thus forcing it to be EXTENDED), and 1000 "Secondary tracks." Since IDMS r17.0, DSNTYPE=LARGE is supported for all file types. On the other hand, DSNTYPE=EXTENDED is only allowed for REORG work files. Both LARGE and EXTENDED format files can have more than 65,535 tracks on a single volume.
