M204.0165: Missing an update unit from ICL (InComplete List)

While scanning the CCARF data set, Model 204 has detected the end of an update unit for which no corresponding start of update unit was found. Possible explanations for this error are:

  • A utility program was used to copy the original journal to data set being used as CCARF, and a portion of the original data set was not copied.
  • A copy was not done.

System manager response: If the original journal was a multi-volume data set and was copied to another data set for input to this run, verify that all volumes were in fact copied, and rerun the job. If CCARF was the original data set, contact Technical Support. Have the following documentation available:

  • Audit trail of the original run
  • Snap
  • UTILJ of the CCARF data set or a copy of this data set on tape
  • UTILC of the restart data set or a copy of this data set on tape

M204.0479: process group not found: processgroupname

A TRANSFER statement was evaluated, resulting in an attempt to perform a VTAM trusted logon in another Online (the target Online). The PARTNER processgroup, identified in the DEFINE PROCESS command in the transferring Online, was not found in the target Online. As a result, the TRANSFER fails and the user remains in the transferring online.

System manager response: The PARTNER= token in the DEFINE PROCESS command of the transferring Online has an incorrect value for processgroupName. Check the spelling to ensure that it is the correct name of the intended processgroup in the target Online.

Return codes: I 0 0 AUDITMS


M204.0480: Invalid backpage request: backPage

A backpage command of the form P -n or P +n was issued, but NBKPG is 0, or the value of n is invalid. The command is echoed in hex, so you can see exactly what was entered. For example, if P -99 was issued but NBKPG is 50, then the following message would be issued:

M204.0480: Invalid backpage request: P -99(X'D74060F9F9')

M204.2020 File fileName; condition?,? OPEN command rejected

The first change to this message is that the filename of the affected file is now displayed at the beginning of the message text.

The second change is that a second error type affecting file opens is now support. The original error type of "Unsupported device for Model 204 database %F" was reported for all condition,s even where the device type wasn't the underlying issue. Whilst this error type has been retained for conditions where it is valid, a new error type of "DDNAME not found" is now available for the message. Thus, in a situation where one thread is attempting to allocate a ddname, and another thread in parallel is trying to open a file with the same ddname, the following message variant may be produced

M204.2020: File filename; DDNAME not found, OPEN command rejected

M204.2964 Password missing or too long

A password string within an IFSTRTN call has not been delimited with a semicolon.

Response: Ensure that the password string is delimited by a semicolon, as in the following example

CALL IFSTRTN(RC,'logonid;password;'...)

Version introduced: 7.8

Return codes: E 00 04 AUDITMS NOCOUNT

M204.2965 Unable to cleanly close log file(s)

Introduced in zap 77z243.

This message causes a snap/dump if the log file (such as a journal, jlog, or checkpoint) cannot be cleanly quiesced when bringing down an Online. The problem with the log file is rare but caused a hang further along in processing. This message causes a snap/dump much closer to the time of error, making it easier to diagnose the problem.

Response: Use the snap/dump generated by the message to diagnose the cause of the error.

Return codes: E 88 88 DUMP SNAP AUDITAD NOTERM OPR


M204.2966 what line number?,? procedure proc in file file

This message provides diagnostic information following various types of error messages.

The first M204.2966 message after an error has what set to Error at. Subsequent M204.2966 messages (if any) have what set to Called from.

number, proc, and file indicate the line number, procedure, and file where the error occurred or from where the previous M204.2966 entry was called. Essentially, this provides a call stack trace to aid in diagnosing problems. No more than 20 levels of calls are shown for an error.

Response: Use the M204.2966 messages after an error to try to diagnose the cause of the error.

M204.2967 what line number of command level program

This message provides diagnostic information after various types of error messages.

The first M204.2967 message after an error has what set to Error at and subsequent M204.2967 messages (if any) have what set to Called from.

number indicates the line number for a command line program (counting from the Begin) where the error occurred, or where the previous M204.2966 entry was called from. Essentially, this provides a call stack trace to aid in diagnosing problems. No more than 20 levels of calls are shown for an error.

Response: Use the M204.2967 (and M204.2966, if any) after an error to try to diagnose the cause of the error.

M204.2968 what: no debug info

An error message (immediately preceding M204.2968) was issued, but insufficient compile-time information was collected to provide the diagnostic information provided in the M204.2966 and M204.2967 messages. To get that additional information to help diagnose the problem, set the SIRFCAT X'01' bit if authorized for SirFact, or set the DEBUGUL parameter to a non-zero value. The latter requires no product authorization, but it does increase QTBL requirements.

Response: If you are unable to diagnose the problem, consider setting one of the parameters described above to aid in problem diagnosis.

M204.2974 Action disabled by commit exit

An attempt to invoke the Commit Exit features failed.
