Hello,

i have a sysout with this message :

DSN=BV2VDV.BDVCAGQ.ACTE1,VOLS=388358,TOTALBLOCKS=5341
IEC205I ACTE2,BDVCAGQ2,LAW59,FILESEQ=1, COMPLETE VOLUME LIST, 909

DSN=BV2VDV.BDVCAGQ.ACTE0,VOLS=384235,TOTALBLOCKS=35510
IGD17101I DATA SET BV2VDV.BDVCAGQ.ACTE0 912
NOT DEFINED BECAUSE DUPLICATE NAME EXISTS IN CATALOG
RETURN CODE IS 8 REASON CODE IS 38 IGG0CLEH

but this step didn't abended. The RC was 0. And it's the Return Code of the step program.

I would like the step abended becasue the entry of the tape was in catalog.

Is it possible to abended this step because of this message :

NOT DEFINED BECAUSE DUPLICATE NAME EXISTS IN CATALOG

We have the product "ALLOCATE" in our production. The the produc VAM was not started (because of an oversight)

Thank's for your help.

You need to work with your site support group to determine if an appropriate solution can be implemented at your site. The program ran fine, the data set was created, the only "problem" is that the catalog was not updated -- this is not, typically, an ABEND since everything is fine (except for the catalog entry not pointing to the new data set).

Mr. Sample is correct. The catalog update is performed after your program completes; unless there is very fancy code in your program to detect the potential catalog problem there is essentially nothing you, as a programmer, can do except, perhaps, run an IDCAMS step to DELETE xxx NOSCRATCH before your step runs.

This might work; I'm afraid I can't test it.

Select all

//RUN EXEC PGM=yourpgm
//tapedd DD DISP=(NEW,PASS),UNIT=tape,DSN=xx.xx
//INITCAT EXEC PGM=IDCAMS,COND=(0,NE,RUN)
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
DELETE xx.xx NOSCRATCH
//UPDCAT EXEC PGM=IEFBR14,COND=(0,NE,RUN)
//tapedd DD DISP=(OLD,CATLG),DSN=xx.xx
