RCDS: Reset RCDS error flags

During various CICS® VR processing, the Recovery Control Data Sets (RCDSs) are checked for various error conditions to help ensure integrity of the data within the RCDSs. If an error condition is found, CICS VR reports the error and sets an error flag in the RCDS that marks it as unusable. CICS VR processing can no longer access an RCDS that has an error flag set on.

When an RCDS error condition is reported, the problem must be investigated and resolved before using the RCDS again. After the RCDS error is resolved and the accuracy of the data in the RCDS has been verified, you can make the RCDS available to CICS VR again by issuing the RCDS RESET command against the RCDS. The RCDS RESET command resets any error flags in the specified RCDS, therefore allowing CICS VR processing to again access the data within the RCDS.
