Record nn1 is found out of sequence when reading forward on log dddd. The preceding record is nn2. Processing terminates.

Explanation

Two label records are not in the correct time sequence in log dddd. Record nn2, which precedes record nn1 on the log, has a later time stamp. Also, the sequence numbers of these records are not in sequence.

Note: For CICS® logs, the label sequence numbers nn1 and nn2 are artificially created when CICS VR converts the label record to CICS/ESA 4.1 format. So the label sequence numbers do not appear on the native CICS log.

Some possible causes for this message are:
  • A log has been written over an older log and the data set is not closed. This can occur when the system abends.
  • The time and date were specified incorrectly during an IPL of the operating system.
  • A log contained data other than log records.
This message is issued if you specified:
  • The SEQCHKR OUTOFSEQUENCE(STOP) command.
  • STOP in the sequence checking secondary window.
  • No option in the out of sequence field of the sequence checking secondary window.

System action

CICS VR stops the recovery and prints the reports.
