Issue/Introduction

Why do the generated ARCHIVE's fail with RC=16 for the HSM to Disk conversion after HSMGEN2 in SIM mode?

Resolution

The preceding HSMGEN2 job did not recall the data sets from MCDS before, because it was executed in simulate mode. 

However, the ARCHIVE's should not submitted in a simulation run. 

So in case of a simulation run we need to manually remove the last step in HSMGEN2, the SUBMIT step, 

or just change the SYSOUT=(,INTRDR) to SYSOUT=* 

Here the HSMGEN2 JCL:

//CONVERTB EXEC PGM=ADSMI002,PARM='ADSHC004',COND=(0,NE) 

//SYSIN DD * 

CONVERT VOLCOUNT=NN,ML=X,NEWHLQ=NEWHLQ,STORGRP=SGNAME,SIM 

/* 

//SUBMIT EXEC PGM=IEBGENER,COND=(0,NE) 

//SYSPRINT DD DUMMY 

//SYSUT1 DD DISP=OLD,DSN=CAI.DISK.DISKJCLB 

//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=(,INTRDR) <=== change to SYSOUT=* for SIM 

//SYSIN DD DUMMY 

Similar should be done for HSMGEN1 if run in SIM mode.
