Errors SV575R and SV557R on files controlled by both DADS Plus for CICS and ShareOption/5

Products

• DADS Plus
• ShareOption/5

Issue/Introduction

Files which are owned by both DADS Plus for CICS and ShareOption/5 get error messages at CICS startup:

SV575R: DATASET APCTRL HAS MACRF=AIX, CNV, ICI OR NSR. NOT ALLOWED WITH SHR5.
SV557R: REMOVE DATASET FROM SHR5 AUTHORIZATION LIST OR CHANGE THE MACRF SPECIFICATIONS.

Resolution

The purpose of using the //DADSIN DD in the CICS startup JCL is to tell DADS Plus for CICS not to allocate the files at CICS startup time and allow the files to be successfully controlled by ShareOption/5. By using the //DADSIN methodology, DADS Plus for CICS can still be used for these files after CICS initializes.

Add the files to the //DADSIN DD dataset which is an override for DADS Plus for CICS.

The DADSIN can take the form of a sequential file, a PDS or be inline to the CICS startup JCL.

//DADSIN DD DSN=inputfile,DISP=SHR  sequential file
 
//DADSIN DD DSN=inputfile,DISP=SHR  member of PDS file
 
//DADSIN DD *                       inline JCL
