DWW0620S

An illegal record length is in the after-image record. The data set is dddd.

Explanation

CICS® VR has found an after-image with an invalid record length when recovering from a CICS TS log. The keyword value FIXED in the FCTCOMP command is not specified. The CICS VR default is VARIABLE. Thus, CICS assumes the first 4 bytes to be the record descriptor word (RDW). See z/OS DFSMS Macro Instructions for Data Sets for more information about the RDW.

System action

CICS VR stops the recovery and prints the reports.
