Merge and Reconcile (M&R) Messages and Codes

M+R is an application under TSO/ISPF. As such, messages typically appear in short form in the upper right corner of the screen and in long form only if Help [PF1] is entered.

This appendix lists messages from M+R. The messages in series SERnnnA may require an action to rectify the situation evoking the message. Other messages, in series SERnnnI, are informational and require no action.

Messages are listed numerically by short message, followed by the long message, then an explanation, and finally, the required action (where needed).

Important

Please note; SERnnnn messages in Chapter 2 of this manual are for SerNet messages. SerNet messages begin with SER followed by 4 digits. M&R messages begin with SER followed by 3 digits SERnnn.

SER001A M+R not licensed! | M+R not licensed for your use; Contact local help desk.

Explanation: M+R is a separately licensed product. The software, as installed, has detected that M+R has not been licensed and refuses to continue.

Solution: If you get the message above and wish to investigate M+R further, contact your marketing representative.

SER002A M+R license has expired! | M+R license has expired; Contact local help desk.

Explanation: M+R is a separately licensed product. The software, as installed, has detected that M+R license has expired.

Solution: If you get the message above and wish to continue to use M+R, contact your marketing representative.

SER003A SER003A Invalid option | Enter one of the listed options.

Explanation: A menu has been presented and the only acceptable response is one of the listed options.

Solution: Action; Enter one of the listed options or exit.

SER004A Invalid TEXT Type | Valid TEXT: BAL, C, COBOL, FORTRAN, JCL, NATURAL, PANEL, PLI, REXX, and RPG.

Explanation: You have attempted to update your personal profile with a TEXT Type that has been misspelled. The long message above is a common subject of the entire list.

Solution: Action; Spell the TEXT Type correctly or enter a period (.) as a wildcard so that M+R can dynamically determine the columns to compare. Whatever is chosen can also be prefixed with a dollar ($) sign to suppress ignoring of spaces in the comparison.

SER005A Must be SEQ | Print File must be SEQuentially organized.

Explanation: You have attempted to update your personal profile for Print with a Data Set Name for Print that is not SEQuential (DSORG=PS).

Solution: Action; Change the data set name and M+R will automatically allocate it with proper attributes.

SER006A Modules(s) not Loaded! | At least one module not loaded; Unable to proceed.

Explanation: At initialization, M+R attempts to load modules required for its work. If it is unsuccessful, M+R terminates.

Solution: Action; Verify that your TSO logon procedure points to the M+R load library.

SER007A Must be PDS or SEQ | "Work In Suspense" File must be Partitioned or SEQ Data Set.

Explanation: You have attempted to update your personal profile with a Data Set Name for your WIS file that is neither PDS nor SEQuential.

Solution: Action; Change the data set name and M+R will automatically allocate it with proper attributes.

SER008I Changed Versions | At least one version:{change}; Number of same versions: {number}.

Explanation: At least one version: {change}; number of same versions: {number}.

Solution: Information; You have changed the base or derivative data sets or both. {change} can be any combination of the words “added," “moved," and “dropped" which describe your changes. {number} is the number of same versions, although not necessarily in the previous order.

SER009I Profile updated. | Profile updated as entered for this and future sessions.

Explanation: Information, the personal profile has been updated permanently. It applies for the rest of this session and future sessions until updated (in place) again. No action is required.

SER010A I/O error | Input/Output error detected; Unable to proceed.

Explanation: A file Input or Output error has been detected. The more common symptom is specifically described under message SER037A below. This is the catch-all message for other errors. One of the files specified under Profile Data Sets or VERSIONS has experienced an input error of undetermined origin. One of the possible reasons is the specification of PAN or LIB for a file that indeed is neither CA Panvalet nor CA Librarian, but that generally precipitates SER019A OPEN failure.

Solution: Split the screen and inspect the file with option 3.2 of ISPF. If it appears normal, attempt to browse (ISPF Option 1) the file.

SER011A DSNAME missing | Base DSNAME missing or derivative DSNs not continuous, please enter.

Explanation: An attempt has been made to specify data set names with an empty slot or these are not data sets. The minimum specification is a base. Derivatives 1 - 7 (Drv1 to Drv7) must be contiguous, i.e., no gaps. The cursor is placed at the perceived gap data set name.

Solution: Respecify the versions such that there are no gaps or supply at least a base data set.

SER012A Allocation Failure | Data set not cataloged or under exclusive control; CANcel or change.

Explanation: An attempt has been made to specify data set name that could not be allocated to the session. The cursor is placed at the offending data set name.

Solution: Probable user error in spelling the data set name or the data set is being exclusively allocated to another task. For example, an M+R batch job may be running that writes to the Print and/or WIS data set. NOTE Also remember that TSO ID and/or user prefix are not assumed. Full specification is always required in M+R.

SER013A TYPE invalid | TYPE must be PDS, SEQ, PAN, LIB, or blank.

Explanation: An attempt has been made to specify a TYPE and was misspelled. The cursor is placed at the offending TYPE. Valid literals and their meanings are:

  • PDS - Partitioned Data Set, (DSORG=PO) includes PDSE

  • SEQ - Sequential, DSORG=PS

  • PAN - CA Panvalet

  • LIB - CA Librarian

Solution: If PAN or LIB, specify accordingly. Otherwise, we recommend leave it blank for M+R to determine.

SER014A MEMBER invalid | MEMBER must be alphanumeric starting with alpha, @, #, or $.

Explanation: An attempt has been made to specify a MEMBER that is considered invalid. It must follow the rules for a PDS member name with the exception that it can be nine or ten characters long only if the version data set is PAN. The cursor is placed at the offending MEMBER.

Solution: Specify correctly. Specify a pattern (ABC*) or leave it blank to get a member list.

SER015A MEMBER invalid | MEMBER name can be longer than 8 chars only if PANvalet.

Explanation: An attempt has been made to specify a MEMBER that is longer than eight characters and TYPE was not specified as PAN. The cursor is placed at the offending MEMBER.

Solution: Respecify MEMBER name with a maximum of eight alphanumeric characters.

SESR016A Pattern, Base only | A member pattern is applicable only to the Base data set.

Explanation: An attempt has been made to specify a pattern for MEMBER of a derivative. This facility is only applicable to the base. The cursor is placed at the offending MEMBER.

Solution: Blank out the offending MEMBER name.

SER017A MEMBER Must Be blank | MEMBER name must be blank for SEQuential data sets.

Explanation: An attempt has been made to specify a MEMBER and the data set was specified as SEQ or dynamically discovered to be DSORG=PS. The cursor is placed at the offending MEMBER.

Solution: Blank out the offending MEMBER name.

SER018A TYPE inconsistent | TYPE inconsistent with data set organization.

Explanation: An attempt has been made to specify a TYPE that is inconsistent with what was dynamically discovered; for example, TYPE=PDS was specified and the data set is not a PDS; TYPE was specified as SEQ, PAN, or LIB, and the data set is really a PDS. The cursor is placed at the offending TYPE.

Solution: Correct the offending TYPE.

SER019A OPEN failure | Unable to OPEN the specified data set.

Explanation: An attempt has been made to OPEN a data set and it failed. Probable cause is an error in the specification for PAN or LIB. The cursor is placed at the offending DSNAME.

Solution: Split the screen and inspect the file with option 3.2 of ISPF.

SER020A Invalid DSORG | Data set organization (DSORG) unacceptable, e.g. VSAM.

Explanation: A data set was allocated as specified but was discovered to have an organization (DSORG) that cannot be handled, such as VSAM. The cursor is placed at the offending DSNAME.

Solution: Respecify the offending DSNAME.

SER021A Invalid RECFM | Record Format (RECFM) unacceptable, e.g. Undefined.

Explanation: A data set was allocated as specified but was discovered to have a record format (RECFM) that cannot be handled, such as Undefined, which implies a load library. The cursor is placed at the offending DSNAME.

Solution: Respecify the offending DSNAME.

SER022A Member not found | &XXX member not found in {name/ownerid}.

Explanation: An attempt has been made to specify a MEMBER name that could not be found. The cursor is placed at the offending MEMBER. XXXX is the member name; {name/ownerid} is either “base" or “derivative."

Solution: Specify correctly. Specify a pattern (ABC*) for base MEMBER or leave it blank to get a member list.

SER023A Nothing to Execute | Versions not set; No work in suspense; Nothing to edit.

Explanation: An attempt has been made to EXECUTE (option 2), EDIT (option 5), EXPORT (option 6), or for an ANALYSIS (option 7) on the Member Reconciliation menu and there was nothing in place yet to process in this session.

Solution: Set the VERSIONS (option 1), or LOAD a prior WIS.

SER024A No members | No members match the specified criteria (pattern, range or mask).

Explanation: An attempt has been made to EXECUTE (option 2) on the Member Reconciliation menu or to invoke the Consolidation Workplace panel (option 3) on the other tool menus, and it was determined that the specified base library had no members that matched the MEMBER pattern, range, or mask. Also, the library may be empty.

Solution: If the library is empty, pick another library or determine the reason for it being empty. If a pattern was used, make it less restrictive—instead of ABC*, use A*. If a range (first/last member name or pattern) was used, check the directory and make it more inclusive.

SER025A Bad pattern | Member pattern ("*") must fit within first 8 characters.

Explanation: An attempt has been made to specify a pattern for MEMBER that is considered invalid. The cursor is placed at the offending MEMBER.

Solution: The pattern delimiter (*) must exist within the first eight characters and be followed by all blanks. This is true even if the library is PANvalet.

SER026A Invalid ID | ID field must be an alphabetic character “A" to “Z".

Explanation: An attempt has been made to specify an ID that is considered invalid. Only alphabetic characters in the range “A" to “Z" are allowed. The cursor is placed at the offending ID.

Solution: Specify a unique character for ID of this derivative, thus avoiding any confusion when the Reconcile panel is presented.

SER027A Duplicate ID | ID field must be unique — reenter ID.

Explanation: An attempt has been made to specify an ID that is not unique, i.e., the same character already has been used as an ID for another derivative. The cursor is placed at the offending ID.

Solution: Specify a unique character for ID of this derivative, thus avoiding any confusion when the Reconcile panel is presented.

SER028A Inconsistent DSORG | Data set organization (DSORG) inconsistent with findings.

Explanation: A data set for export was allocated as specified but was discovered to have an organization (DSORG) inconsistent with what was specified: PDS for SEQ, PAN for PDS. The cursor is placed at the Export DSORG.

Solution: Respecify the offending DSORG or Export DSNAME.

SER029I Versions accepted | Data set names specified as versions have been accepted.

Solution: Information, this message acknowledges that you have passed all validations and allocations for the specifications. No action is required.

SER030I Print complete | Printed report formatted in file “Print DSNAME".

Explanation: This message acknowledges that you made an attempt to PRINT (option 5P), EXP PRINT (option 6P), or ANL PRINT (option 7P), on the Member Reconciliation menu, or to Print on the Consolidation Workplace panel, and it was successful. No action is required.

Solution: Information; Optionally, you can browse (ISPF option 1) the Print DSNAME as specified on Profile Data Sets panel. You may also route the file to a local printer outside of M+R.

SER031A Execution required | Consolidation (Option 2, EXECUTE) required first.

Explanation: An attempt has been made to SAVE a WIS (option 3) on the Member Reconciliation menu but there was nothing in place yet to save in this session.

Solution: Either set the VERSIONS and EXECUTE, or LOAD a prior WIS.

SER032A "WIS" Loaded | "Work In Suspense" from prior session loaded; Ready to edit.

Explanation: An attempt has been made to LOAD a prior WIS (option 4) on Member Reconciliation menu but the file was found to be empty or the selected member was not found in the WIS library.

Solution: Set the VERSIONS (option 1) and EXECUTE (option 2) in order to populate the WIS file before attempting to LOAD again.

SER033I “WIS" Loaded | “Work In Suspense" from prior session loaded; ready to edit.

Explanation: This message acknowledges that you have attempted, on the Member Reconciliation menu, to LOAD (option 3) a WIS from a prior session and were successful. No action is required.

SER034I Must be SEQ | “Work In Suspense" must be SEQuential file for Member Reconciliation.

Explanation: An attempt has been made to validate the profile settings (option 0) on the Member Reconciliation menu, but the specified WIS data set is not a sequential file. If you enter a new DSNAME, M+R will allocate it for you.

SER035I Export complete | Consolidation effort successfully exported to external file.

Explanation: This message acknowledges that you have attempted to EXPORT (option 6) on the Member Reconciliation menu or, on the Consolidation Workplace panel, to issue an Export line command and were successful. No action is required.

SER036I “WIS" Saved | “Work In Suspense" saved for future session.

Explanation: This message acknowledges that you have ENDed the reconciliation on the Reconcile panel or attempted to SAVE (option 3) a consolidation effort on the Member Reconciliation menu, and were successful. No action is required.

SER037A Abend Sx37 | Target file full; Compress/reallocate before proceeding.

Explanation: An attempt to write to an output file failed because of an x37 abend: B37, D37, E37. The cursor is positioned to the file involved.

Solution: Split the screen and inspect the file with option 3.2 of ISPF. If the file is a PDS, a library compress will probably be sufficient unless all directory blocks are consumed. NOTE If the file is SEQuential, you have to reallocate it with larger dimensions and try again.

SER038A “WIS" data invalid | “Work In Suspense" has invalid data; Considered unusable due to {reason}.

Explanation: An attempt has been made to LOAD a prior WIS (option 4) on the Member Reconciliation menu, but the data was found to be invalid and LOAD failed with a reason code ZZ, as follows:

Explanation: This message acknowledges that you have entered CANcel (or abbreviated CAN) on the command line to exit immediately. No action is required.

SER041A Export error | Output error of undetermined origin at export time.

Explanation: An attempt has been made to export a consolidation effort and an output error has been uncovered. Action: Most likely PAN (CA Panvalet) or LIB (CA Librarian) has been selected as the data set organization for the export file. Try to access the file outside M+R and rectify any adverse conditions.

SER042A Invalid command | Use “S" Select, “F" Force, “P" Print, “E" Export, or “A" Analysis.

Explanation: An attempt has been made to issue a line command from the Consolidation Workplace panel which is illegal. Action: Enter “S" to execute or load a member from WIS, or “F" to force the execution of a member, or “P" to print the last view of a just-edited member, or “E" to export a justreconciled member, or “A" to analyze an executed or exported member.

SER043A Unresolved Conflicts | Export with Unresolved Conflicts NOT allowed - Profile Setting.

Explanation: An attempt has been made to export a consolidation effort with unresolved conflicts while the profile setting “Export Conflicts" is NO.

Solution: Either resolved the conflicts and try to export or change the profile setting of “Export Conflicts" to YES.

SER044A MEMBER Range Invalid | Last Member name in range NOT greater than Starting Base MEMBER.

Explanation: An attempt has been made to validate the input on Versions panel (option 1). The required range of member names is invalid due to last member name being greater than the first member name.

Solution: Either swap the first/last member names or enter a valid range.

SER045I Must be PDS RECFM = VB | "Work In Suspense" WIS must be PDS, RECFM = VB, LRECL > 273.

Explanation: This message warns you that the WIS data set specified on the Profile Data Sets panel must be PDS with proper DCB parameters. If you enter a new DSNAME, M+R will allocate it for you.

SER046A Empty file | Member or sequential file does not contain any records.

Explanation: The base file is considered empty. The cursor is positioned to the base DSNAME or member.

Solution: Respecify the base DSNAME if SEQuential or select a different member if PDS, PAN, or LIB type.

Explanation: You have changed the base and derivative data sets.

Solution: You can CANcel the Versions panel and change the WIS file on the Profile Data Sets panel. Then you can return to the Versions panel to specify the set of versions to be associated with the new WIS. Conversely, you can ignore this message and have the new set of versions associated with the old WIS file. When you exit from M+R and start a new M+R session, this WIS will be used as an information source. However, it is recommended that a set of version libraries is associated with one set of WIS and export files which are not used with another set of versions.

SER097A Export PDS incompatible | Used for another set of versions; Cancel/Change in Profile or ignore.

Explanation: You have changed the export PDS data set while your WIS file also is PDS. M+R will not use this export library as an information source when displaying the Consolidation Workplace panel.

Solution: You can Cancel the Versions panel and restore the proper export file on the Profile Data Sets panel. Then you can return to the Versions panel to specify the corresponding set of versions associated with that export PDS. Conversely, you can ignore this message and have the old set of versions associated with the new export file. When you exit from M+R and start a new M+R session, this export file will be used as an information source. However, it is recommended that a set of version libraries is associated with one set of WIS and export files which are not used with another set of versions.

SER098I Nothing to Print | No member has been selected for execution — nothing to Print.

Explanation: The user has issued Print line command against a member in the Consolidation Workplace when no member has ever been executed in this M+R session.

Solution: Action: The print request is ignored as there is no reconciliation to print. You should either Select a member for execution or load from a previously saved WIS.

Explanation: The bottom of the data has been reached without finding next occurrence of the Find command argument.

Solution: Press (R)FIND key to continue the search from the top of the data.

SER108I No such chars | Requested char string NOT found.

Explanation: The entire data has been searched without finding any occurrence of the Find command argument. If this message appears in response of a Find ALL command, its argument string has not been found in any of the not deleted base/derivative/user-inserted records regardless of whether they are included or excluded into/from the current view. Otherwise, in case of “Find" without the “ALL" argument, its argument string has not been found in the current view data. You may want to issue the Find command again, with the “ALL" argument.

SER109I Nothing to find | (R)FIND Argument has NOT been provided yet.

Explanation: The R(FIND) key has been pressed without previous Find command. Issue a Find command or ignore.

SER110I Change error | Change aborted due to both strings being equal.

Explanation: A Change ALL command has been issued with two equal arguments which renders it senseless. The “Change" command is not executed.

SER111A Invalid command | Follow “Change" with two strings possibly within quotes.

Explanation: An argument of a Change command has the beginning quotation mark (“) or apostrophe(‘) but the corresponding closing one is missing.

Solution: Re-issue the command with the corresponding closing quotation mark or apostrophe. NOTE The search for a string enclosed with a pair of quotation marks or apostrophes is case sensitive.

SER113I Nothing to change | (R)CHANGE Arguments have NOT been provided yet.

Explanation: The R(CHANGE) key has been pressed without previously pressing the R(FIND) key. Press the (R)FIND key, then the (R)CHANGE key, or ignore.

SER114I Change error | Change aborted due to Max Record Length overflow.

Explanation: A Change command has been issued which tries to replace a string with one of bigger size causing the Max Record Length to be exceeded. The Change command is not executed.

SER115I &FCOUNTR Records Changed | ALL NNNNNN records changed.

Explanation: A Change ALL command has completed successfully. &FCOUNTR is the total number of records which have been changed. If a record has contained more than one occurrence of the first string argument of the Change ALL command, all such occurrences have been changed, but the record is counted once only in the &FCOUNTR total.

SER116I Change Error | &FCOUNTR records changed; Max Length overflow for &CCOUNTR records.

Explanation: A Change ALL command was completed successfully. &FCOUNTR is the total number of records which have been changed. nnnnnn is the total number of records which have not been changed due to exceeding the Max Record Length. If a record has contained more than one occurrence of the first string argument of the Change ALL command, all such occurrences have been changed, but the record is counted once only in the &FCOUNTR total.

SER117I Change error | Max Record Length overflow for ALL &CCOUNTR records.

Explanation: A Change ALL command was completed unsuccessfully. &CCOUNTR is the total number of records which have not been changed due to exceeding the Max Record Length. For all &CCOUNTR records which contain the first string argument of the Change ALL command, the required change would have exceeded the Max Record Length.

SER118I Change error | Change argument NOT found in any record.

Explanation: A Change ALL command has completed unsuccessfully. No records containing the first string argument of the Change ALL command have been found. Put String in Quotes | Put quotes (“") around the string of characters to be displayed.

SER119A Put string in quotes | Put quotes (“ ") around the string of characters to be displayed.

Explanation: At least two numbers specified as arguments of a Find or Change command—one of them should be the position while the other the search string.

Solution: Re-issue the command with quotation marks (“) or apostrophes (‘) around the search string leaving the other number to be the requested position.

SER120I Nothing to Paste | No CUT has been taken during this Reconcile session to Paste.

Explanation: A PASte command was completed unsuccessfully due to lack of source to paste. No CUT command has been issued during the current Reconcile session. Whenever you issue END or CANcel commands and return to the Member Reconciliation menu or Consolidation Workplace panel, the content of the last CUT command (if any) is lost. Multiple PASte commands can be issued after a single CUT command. Each CUT command overrides the content of a previous such command.

SER121I Base already included | Base records are displayed for the current context (view).

Explanation: A Reset BAse command has been entered for the current context without a previous command eXclude BAse for that context (view). Base records for the current context (view) are displayed, nothing to reset.

SER122I Base already excluded | Base records are NOT displayed for the current context (view).

Explanation: Either an eXclude BAse command has been entered for the current context after a previous command eXclude BAse had already been issued for that context (view), or the current context does not contain base records (e.g., View COnflicts or eXclude COnflicts). In either case, base records for the current context (view) are NOT displayed; that is, there is nothing to exclude.

SER123I File ID already included | Derivative records are displayed for the current context (view).

Explanation: A REset derivative ID command has been entered for the current context
without a previous eXclude command (for this ID) in that context (view). This means that derivative records for the current context (view) are displayed anyway; there is nothing to reset.

SER124I File ID already excluded | Derivative records are NOT displayed for the current context (view).

Explanation: Either an eXclude derivative ID command has been entered for the current context after a previous eXclude command for this ID has been issued in that context (view), or the current context does not contain these records (e.g., eXclude ALL). This means that derivative records for the current context (view) are not displayed; that is, there is nothing to eXclude.

SER125A Invalid Position | Specified position exceeds current maximum record length.

Explanation: The number specified as a required position of the search string is greater than the current maximum record length, that is, the longest record in the base derivatives.

Action: Re-issue the command with a proper position request. Note that the minimum record length on the Reconcile panel is 80 character and the maximum is 240 character.

SER126 Project invalid | Project must be alphanumeric starting with alpha, @, #, or $.

SER130A Invalid Package Level | Package level must be simple or participating.

Solution: Specify a package ID with existing staging libraries.

SER133A Staging Library Deferred | Check out or stage that component to allocate it.

Explanation: Displays when a user tries to process a library type that was deferred during package creation. A deferred Staging Library Type can only be allocated when a component of that type is checked out or staged.

Solution: Checkout or stage a component for that staging library.

SER134A Library Type Disallowed | Compare/Merge of like LOD library type is disallowed.

Explanation: Displays when a user tries to compare and merge a change package library that is a load module type (LOD), and it is not allowed. See the “Comparing Staging Libraries to Baseline/Promotion" chapter in the ChangeMan ZMF User Guide.

Solution: Specify a proper library type for that package ID.

SER135A Internal Reader error | Unable to use internal reader; Submit member @@CDFJOB of your WIS.

Explanation: Severe error has occurred while submitting a batch job. The job deck is properly formatted and written to your WIS data set as member @@CDFJOB.

Solution: Split the screen, invoke ISPF/PDF Edit, select @@CDFJOB in the current WIS PDS, and submit the job.

SER136A No JOB stmt or TIME parm | First card must contain JOB statement; TIME parameter is mandatory.

SER137I &MSGSHRT | Batch Job to compare and merge version libraries has been

submitted.

Explanation: Standard message providing the job name and ID when a batch job is submitted successfully.

SER138I Cannot run in Batch | Unable to submit batch job; WIS must be PDS, RECFM = VB, LRECL > 273.

Explanation: The WIS in the profile is a SEQuential data set while the Batch Execution is possible only if it is a PDS with proper DCB parameters. If you enter a new DSNAME, M+R will allocate it for you.

SER139A Load Lib DSName unknown | Fill in STEPLIB DD statement and submit member @@CDFJOB of your WIS.

Explanation: M+R expects to find its load library name from a specific DDNAME depending on the way M+R is installed in your site:

  • CDFLLIB for M+R as a stand alone product.

  • CMNLLIB for M+R as an option of ChangeMan ZMF.

  • CPXLLIB for M+R as an option of Comparex.

In case such a DDNAME is not defined but your ISPF is 4.1 or higher, M+R will call the QLIBDEF service to find the current LinkListed load libraries list and use it in the STEPLIB statement. If your ISPF is 3.x or earlier, M+R will try to find the load libraries list of the ISPLLIB DDNAME for the task and use it in the STEPLIB statement. If the above fails, M+R writes the formatted job deck in your WIS library as a @@CDFJOB member.

Solution: Split the screen, invoke ISPF/PDF Edit, select @@CDFJOB in the current WIS PDS, add the name of the M+R load library in the STEPLIB statement, and submit the job.

SER140A Invalid Export Mask | Export member name mask is invalid; format with "?", "*", "-".

Explanation: The mask to format the member name of the consolidated version on export is considered invalid. Valid symbols are:

  • Question (?) mark - denotes any one alphanumeric character at this position.

  • Asterisk (*) - denotes zero, one, or more alphanumeric characters.

  • Minus (-) sign - denotes replacement of one or more characters with the following string.

Solution: Enter valid export name mask. For example, if you want to add a suffix ‘2’ to each exported member name, the mask would be “*2". If you want to replace the first character with ‘K’, the mask would be “-K*".

SER141A Invalid Export Name | Invalid member name Length after applying the Export name Mask.

Explanation: The mask to format the member name of the consolidated version on export is such that, when applied to the exported member name, makes the name too long—more than eight character (ten character for PANvalet library).

Solution: Check whether you have missed the replacement symbol “-". For example, if you have defined the mask “*311", M+R will add three digits after each member name on export. However, the mask “*-311" will replace the last three characters with the three digits.

SER142A WIS incompatible | The WIS belongs to another M+R Tool; use a compatible WIS DSNAME.

Explanation: The WIS data set entered on the Profile Data Sets panel or through an M+R project has been used to store unfinished work in another M+R tool.

Solution: Change the WIS DSNAME to one used within the current tool.

SER143I Not Member/SEQ Versions | Member Reconciliation requires member of SEQ versions, not library.

Explanation: The base version that you have entered on the Versions panel (option 1) of the Member Reconciliation tool is a library and you have not specified a member name. The alternative message is SER144I below.

Solution: Specify a member name, or use the Library Consolidation tool.

SER144I Not Library Versions | This M+R Tool requires library versions, not member or SEQ.

Explanation: The base version that you have entered on the Versions panel (option 1) is not a library—it’s either a specific member or a sequential file. The alternative message is SER143I above.

Solution: Specify a member name pattern, or range, or masks, or use the Member Reconciliation tool.

SER145A Incomplete Installation | Ask System Programmer to provide M+R Projects Data Set as per manual.

Explanation: The team-oriented Projects and Samples data sets need to be made known to M+R by manually editing the SEROJECT panel in the M+R PANELS library. If these data sets are not allocated with the required parameters, or cannot be opened and read, or the samples data set does not contain the WALKBAS, WALKDV1, and WALKDAV2 members, this message is issued and some functions are not available.

Solution: Ask the system programmer of your site to perform the actions advised in the installation guide:

In the )INIT section of the SEROJECT panel, enter:

  • &CDFPROJ = somnode.CDF.PROJECTS

  • &CDFSAMPL = somnode.CDF.SAMPLES

The DSName somnode.CDF.PROJECTS and somnode.CDF.SAMPLES are examples only.

The M+R Projects data set has to be allocated as a SEQuential file, with:

  • Record Format FB

  • Logical Record Length 80

  • Block Size 6000

  • First extension 20 blocks

  • Secondary extension 400

All M+R users should be granted READ/WRITE authority to the Projects data set somnode.CDF.PROJECTS.
