DCRS Error Messages

For DCRS error messages, the card image and segment name are moved into the ERR data set. Possible reasons are:

BLANK LINE FOUND

Explanation: DCRS has found a card image that contains only blanks. The card image is not a continuation of the previous line.

COMMA BEFORE INST

Explanation: A comma was found preceding before a valid label or opcode. (INST is an abbreviation for instruction.)

INVALID LABEL

Explanation: The instruction's label contains invalid characters.

INVALID OPCODE

Explanation: The instruction's opcode contains invalid characters.

NO ENDING QUOTE

Explanation: After finding the start of a quoted string, DCRS did not find the closing apostrophe to end the quoted string.

PARSING ERROR

Explanation: DCRS's parser failed to recognize the instruction's format.

The following error messages occur without the card image and segment name being displayed:

ABEND 9

Explanation: The data set coded for the ERR DD statement cannot be opened. DCRS issues an ABEND with a user return code of 9. The job is terminated and a dump of virtual storage areas relevant to the job is printed if a SYSABEND, SYSMDUMP or SYSUDUMP DD statement is provided in the JCL for this ABENDing job.

A DATA FILE WAS UNSUCCESSFULLY OPENED

Explanation: An unsuccessful attempt to open an input or output data set, except for the data set defined for the ERR DD statement, causes the job to end and a message to print.

ERROR READING BLOCK FOR SEGMENT - segment name

Explanation: An error reading a segment block causes the message to be issued and the job is terminated.

ERROR USING GET ON ICALL MACRO. JOB TERMINATED

Explanation: DCRS could not get the next record from the ICALL macro.

I/O ERROR OCCURRED IN READING THE DIRECTORY. JOB TERMINATED

Explanation: DCRS could not read the PDS's directory. Scanning terminates since the member names are unknown.
