Issue/Introduction

I aborted a Block Size Alter (BA24) running on a Datacom area. They I tried to restart the BA24 on the same area via DDUTILTY but the job failed with:
 **** ERROR ****  DB RETURN CODE = 94 (177)   BLOCK ALTER 24X7

Environment

Release: DBCISF00200-15.1-Datacom-Database-Option for CICS Services
Component:

Cause

On the MUF joblog I see:
DB02831E - BLOCK ALTER 24X7 nnn aaa ERROR COMPLETE, OPEN 

The error is that you are doing a BA24 after a previous BA24 for the same area without the base being closed and reopened.

Resolution

Close and reopen the involved area to restart the Block Size Alter process
