Installation JOB EZTDEMO ABEND: UNABLE TO CONSTRUCT OPTION TABLES.

Products

• Easytrieve Report Generator

Issue/Introduction

Executing the Easytrieve Demo program, but abending with a ABEND=S000 U0020.

CA-EASYTRIEVE INITIALIZATION FAILED 

UNABLE TO CONSTRUCT OPTION TABLES.           

OPTION TABLE LOADER RESPONSE CODE IS 02(0000) 

The compile ran fine with our Company Name in the File Statistics being picked up through the Options File. I have the same Options file in the RUN step of the compiled and linked Demo program. So if it works for the Compile step, why doesn't it work for the Run step? 

 

 

Environment

Easytrieve Report Generator, release 11.6

Resolution

This is not a problem with finding the Options File, but in this case, it is creating a partial Options File. Looking at your Options File, you may see values that are not filled in.

Recommendation is for you to please check each value by comparing it with the 6.4 values and with the Installation Guide, and then create a new EZOPTBL data set via the JOB06OP1 member found in the CBAAJCL library.

If you are migrating from Easytrieve Plus Report Generator 6.4, you can optionally migrate your existing options table settings to the current release via the MOV64OPT member found in the CBAAJCL library.

So, these are the two jobs to run please:

1. Execute the JOB06OP1 job in the CBAAJCL data set. 

The options table is created and initialized with default option settings. 

2. Execute the MOV64OPT job in the CBAAJCL data set. 

Your existing options table settings from release 6.4 are then migrated to the current release.
