OPEN MACRO IN DADBAUIT ADDR(80000954) FAILED: R15=X'08' ERR=X'0A0'' printing the DADS Plus for CICS AUDIT FILE

Issue/Introduction

The DADSAUD file is an optional file which DADS Plus for CICS uses to write a chronological audit history of all online and batch DADS Plus for CICS transaction activity. It can be read and interpreted to produce an Audit List report using DADBAUIT batch program.

After the file is initially defined and primed as shown in sample job DADSAUD, it is possible that a DADBAUIT PRINT of the DADS AUDIT FILE may fail with the following messages:

OPEN MACRO IN DADBAUIT ADDR(80000954) FAILED: R15=X'08' ERR=X'0A0'
AUDIT FILE CANNOT BE PRINTED BECAUSE IT IS EMPTY

This can happen because VSAM may not have sufficient buffer space available to open the audit file.

Resolution

As part of the base installation of DADS Plus for CICS, a sample JCL library is created called hlq.SAMPLIB. Sample JCL member DADSAUD is used to define and initialize the audit file FCT DADSAUD. Modify the DADSAUD SAMPJCL member and ADD the BUFFERSPACE parameter as follows:

 DEFINE CLUSTER (NAME(*DADSAUD*)                  -
            BUFFERSPACE(12288)                    -
            VOLUMES(*VOLSER*)                     -
            NONINDEXED                            -
            RECSZ(0200 4089)                      -
            SHR(2 3))                             -
            DATA (NAME(*DADSAUD*.DATA)            -
            CISZ(4096)                            -
            CYL(1 0))

To produce a report of the contents of the audit file, see JCL member HLQ.SAMPLIB(DADBAUIT).
