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.
User response
- Batch–Include the FCTCOMP FIXED command and keyword, and then
rerun CICS VR.
If CICS VR
applied updates to the VSAM data set, restore a new copy from the backup before
you rerun the job.
- Online–Include the RECFORM(FIXED) command and keyword
in your CICS VR
archive job, or include the equivalent value in the log format parameters
secondary window. If CICS VR applied updates to the VSAM data set, restore
a new copy from the backup before you resubmit the recovery job.
