Cause

There are some space issues with the VSAM file..

One of them could be:

Data set cannot be extended because VSAM cannot allocate additional direct-access storage space.
Either there is not enough space left to make the secondary allocation request, you attempted to increase the size of a data set while processing with SHROPT=4 and DISP=SHR, or the index CI is not large enough to hold the entire CA.
This error could also be due to a data set trying to extend beyond 4GB on a system that does not support extended addressability.

Or the space allocated for the VSAM datasets is not enough to hold all the records repro into it.

Resolution

Check the volume the VSAM file is allocated on has enough space to hold the dataset and the extend, or increase the allocated space of the VSAM dataset to hold all records.
