Issue/Introduction

Executing IVP installation verification job in hlq.CIMTSAMP member IVPIMS01 and the job is failing with a JCL error in step STPDDLT1:

IEFA107I jobname STPDDLT1 BA1P0020 - DATA SET hilvlq.IVP.BA1P0020.HDAM.PRIMDB NOT FOUND

Resolution

This VSAM dataset is created in step STPAMS2.

Review the IDCAMS messages for this step to determine why this dataset has not been created.

One possible cause is that the HILVLQ that has been used for the job is too long. The HILVLQ must not exceed 14 characters.
If it is, then the create of this VSAM dataset will fail with the following error:

DATA - 	
(NAME(hilvlq-greater-than-14-chars.IVP.BA1P0020.HDAM.PRIMDB.DATA)) 	
IDC3203I ITEM xxx DOES NOT ADHERE TO RESTRICTIONS 	
IDC3202I ABOVE TEXT BYPASSED UNTIL NEXT COMMAND. CONDITION CODE IS 12 

 

Amend the HILVLQ that is being used for this job, limiting it to 14 characters or less. Then rerun the job from the start.
