Issue/Introduction
During the allocation of the file the following message is displayed
V37062I MVS CURRENTLY LIMITS DSETS TO 59 VOLS RECOVERY OF THIS EOV COND WOULD EXCCEED THIS LIMIT
STEP CC S/B 0012 + IEC070I 203-220
Resolution
The ‘V37062I’ message results from your initial DEFINE CLUSTER with the 20 candidate volumes [VOLUME(* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * )] specified at the CLUSTER level.
Specifying the candidate volumes at the CLUSTER level, it limits DATA of the component to 39 volumes since IBM limits a data set to 59 volumes.
There are two solutions to this problem:
Move the candidate volumes to the DATA component level in the initial DEFINE. In your specific job, code the DEFINE like this:
DEFINE CLUSTER -
( -
NAME(XXXXXXXXXXXX) -
KEYS(50 4) -
RECSZ(158 1398) -
SHR(2 3)-
DATACLASS(COMPRESS) -
SPEED -
) -
DATA -
( -
NAME(XXXXXXXXXXX.DATA) -
FREESPACE(10 10) -
VOL(* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *) -
CISZ(7186) -
CYL(900 2000) -
) -
INDEX -
( -
NAME(XXXXXXXXXXXX.INDEX) -
CISZ(512) -
CYL( 20 2)-
)
- In the Allocate User’s Guide manual, in the description of the ‘NVOLD’ and ‘NVOLI’ variables, it is recommended to set ‘NVOLD’ and ‘NVOLI’ to 1. This is an example of ASR code to perform this recommendation:
IF &VAMENVIR = 'DEFINE' THEN
DO
IF &SMS_MANAGED = 'Y' THEN
DO
IF &DSORG = 'VS' THEN
DO
SET &NVOLD = 1
SET &NVOLI = 1
WRITE 'DEFINE SETTING &&NVOLD AND &&NOLVI = 1 FOR SMS-MANAGED VSAM'
END
END
END
Would add this code to your existing ASR in the ‘DEFINE’ environment. It would then look like this:
IF &VAMENVIR = 'DEFINE' THEN
DO
IF &STORCLAS = '' THEN
DO
SET &LSPACE_VOLUME = &LSPACE_VOLUME
IF &LSPACE_RETURN_CODE NE 0 THEN EXIT CODE(0)
SET &LSPACE_STORGRP = &LSPACE_STORGRP
IF &LSPACE_RETURN_CODE NE 0 THEN EXIT CODE(0)
END
IF &DSTYPE NE 'TEMP' THEN SET &UNIT = 'SYSDA'
IF &DSN NE &AP_DATASET_NOEXTEN THEN
DO
IF &SECONDARY = 0 THEN SET &SECONDARY = 1
IF &SECONDARYD = 0 THEN SET &SECONDARYD = 1
IF &SECONDARYI = 0 THEN SET &SECONDARYI = 1
END
IF &SMS_MANAGED = 'Y' THEN
DO
IF &DSORG = 'VS' THEN
DO
SET &NVOLD = 1
SET &NVOLI = 1
WRITE 'DEFINE SETTING &&NVOLD AND &&NOLVI = 1 FOR SMS-MANAGED VSAM'
END
END
END /* VSAM DEFINE Section */
This ASR change will allow the data component of ‘XXXXXXXXX’ to extend on to many more volumes. The Allocate product will correctly add the volumes to the data component.
