Issue/Introduction

Description:

The following error message was output when we initialized the existing master file using DISP=SHR/OLD by the -OPT INIT and/or the -OPT BKUPDISK.

  *** ERROR ***          MASTER FILE CANNOT BE INITIALIZED AS NOT NEW FILE.  (The case of -OPT INIT)
  *** ERROR ***          BACKUP FILE CANNOT BE INITIALIZED AS NOT NEW FILE.  (The case of -OPT BKUPDISK)

Solution:

After R4.3 + PTF(QO93714) or R4.4, in order to prevent the corruption of master file, initialization processing of the master file using DISP=SHR/OLD is handled as an error.
When you initialize a master file, please create new master file by using DISP=NEW.
Also, when you want to change only the parameter setting for your existing master file, please use the -OPT REINIT.

You can execute the processing same as old version and evade an error by following special solution.
If you need the special solution please contact our support staff.

For R4.3/SO05 - RO06895 + RS06899
For R4.4 - RS40536

The following are the sample jcls for the DISP=SHE/OLD initialization.
