U0002 - IMS control region down
- This indicates that a program has filled the region and
the region has abended. It may be: 1) A program running in
the same region as a program that fills a region; 2) Your
program which has filled the region (either because of a
program problem like infinite looping or because you have
not taken a checkpoint for a long time); or 3) A bad
version of IMS is in place (especially likely if it is
experienced on a Sunday).

U0100 - Bad checkpoint

- Especially after a U0777 restart using the wrong
checkpoint
- Use a previous checkpoint for the restart

| U0102 - IMS cannot find the checkpoint ID when you are restarting
| the job. Here is a list of items to check.
| - Check to make sure that the checkpoint ID is the
| correct one that you want to use. Check typing of
| checkpoint id.
| - Ensure that the jobname of the abend and the jobname of
| the restart job are the same.
| - The IMS disk log dataset may have been written to tape.
| Use the Plano supported IMS Checkpoint VOLSER Locator
| (option L.O.I), to find the tape, and data set name of
| the IMS tape log.
| - Check data set name, tape VOL=SER, for log data set if
| IMS log has gone to tape.

U0136 - A previous program abend has hung up the IMS region

initiator have MTO stop and start the initiator that the
job failed in.

U0144 - BMP abended because there were too many BMP's running at
one time. Restart when there are fewer BMP's running.

| U0240 - An IMS online program, (MPP), has timed out. Each and
| every IMS online transaction/program has a set time limit
| as to how many CPU seconds this program will be allowed to
| have. Once the limit has been exceeded the program will
| abend.
| - Check for loops in the program
| - Check for 'GB', end of data base condition, and make
| sure that the program is processing this condition OK.
| - Check the Boolean SSA to make sure that you do not read
| thru the entire data base to get your result.
| - Check your SSA when using secondary indexes and make
| sure the names used in the SSA are valid.
| - Verify the CPU second limit with the DBA group for the
| transaction code.

U0261 - Could be missing link control statements in CHAMP source

- Parameter list is not on a full word boundary
(i.e. 01 level)

U0295 - Display left in program

U0428 - PSB not defined in sysgen

| U0430 - Not enough region size or region parm is missing, also

| DFS0432I and/or DFS0430I message will appear. Increase
| region size or add it.
|
| U0437 - Access Group Name problem
| - Logon ID does not have access to AGN
| - PSB does not have access to AGN
| - AGN parameter missing from JCL
|
| U0452 - the IMS transaction can not be processed because of one of
| the following reason:
| - the transaction is stopped
| - the transaction is locked
| - the transaction is already scheduled in another region
| To correct this problem make sure that the transaction is
| started. If it is started, check the other regions to
| make sure that this transaction is not running in another
| region.
|
| U0456 - The program/PSB is stopped, locked, or is marked as
| invalid. Check to make sure that the program is started
| and also check that the ACB for this PSB is valid and that
| the ACB is in the correct library.

U0457 - Duplicate PSB in region

U0458 - Data base is stopped

U0475 - Usually occurs when you attempt a checkpoint call without

doing a restart call first.
| U0476 - IMS has found a problem between your PCB and your
| program's storage areas for the PCB. Some items to check
| are:
| - The PSB language specified in the PSB is not the same
| as the program language.
| - The number and order of the PCB's in your PSB does not
| match the the number and order in your program.
| - The Address of the PCB's in your program has been
| overlaid in your program.
| - In a COBOL program, the LINKAGE SECTION must have a 01
| level coded for each PCB in the PSB.
|
| U0688 - IMS control program is down and must be restarted before
| any BMP processing can be done.
|
| U0718 - The "REGION PARM" on a batch job is too small. Increase
| the region size.

U0775 - Too much updating in buffers before a checkpoint was taken

- If one program fills the buffers, others may follow
- Check to see that the checkpoint counter is incremented at
every update (ISRT/REPL/DLET) to a data base or GSAM file.
If so, the maximum updates before a checkpoint is taken
may need to be reduced.

U0777 - Data base contention, operator cancelled

- Restart at last 'unique' checkpoint to avoid duplicate
check point on restart.

U0800's - Usually a problem for DBA's

- Be careful, could be a corrupt data base

| U0826 - IMS was unable to open an index data base data set. Check
| for:
| - The index data base data set exist.
| - The index data base data set name is correct
| - The index data base data set DDNAME is correct
| - All index data base data set DDNAMEs are present and
| correct
| - That you have a buffer large enough to hold the data
| - Check for a "DFS730I" error message. There will be
| additional information with this message. Use the
| reason code given and look into the IMS/ESA Messages
| and Code manual for more info.
|
| U0844 - This is a data base full error. Check the DBDLIB that you
| using to make sure it is the correct one. Also check on
| how many records you are adding/inserting.

U0850 - Exception to U0800's rule

- Larger buffers are needed to process the job. Change the
DFSVSAMP (or equivalent) DD so that it will allocate
larger buffers.

U0921 - Requested PSB not found

- Check to see that you have done your PSB/ACB gen's.

| U0929 - IMS has found an error when trying to match the DBD and
| the PSB. Verify that the correct libraries are being used.

U2082 - Response mode transaction terminated without reply (DFS

msg)
- Good change that you have left displays in your MPP
program.

U3030 - Duplicate format number used in MFS gen.

- Format number must be changed. It is best to have DBM
group scratch that format number and for you to regen both
MFS's.

| U3303 - This implies that the data base were not available for
| use. Check to see that the databases have been started.
|
| DFS057 - The REQUESTED BLOCK ####MODNAME NOT AVAIL.....
| where the ####MODNAME, where #### are HEX NUMBERS
| check MFS source code and make sure that
| .... MSG TYPE=OUTPUT,SOR=(MID,IGNORE)
| .... and the DEV.. has FEAT IGNORE
| ... the name of FORMAT, MID, MOD do not match
|
| SIMLOGON - An MPP tried to send a message to a device. IMS sent
| the message to VTAM. VTAM tried to do an "OPEN DEST"
| on the device but got no response back. Check to make
| sure the device is up and active, and make sure that
| the device you are sending something to is a valid
| device.
|
| BMC2849 - VSAM DATASET NOT EMPTY - DDNAME = ???????? BMC Load
| Utility when VSAM data set is not properly created.
|
| BMC2660 - OSAM Relative BYTE ADDRESS exceeds 31 BIT capacity
|
| BMC2954 - from BMC SECONDARY INDEX BUILD. DBD is not in LIBRARY
| that you are pointing to.
