Hi,

One of my JCL is abending with the following reason code

ABEND=S000 U4087 REASON=0000000A 210

JCL is trying to allocate space but it is failiting due to insufficient memory.

But in the same JCL if I am giving DSORG-PS in DCB parameter the jon has completed without any error.

I know DSORG means dataset organisation, But I am keen to know whether I am going to lose any data if I use DSORG=PS parameter.

Please asssist even if this qiuestion is discussed already also.

Thanks and Regards,
Rajkumar Nerella

first of all You should check Your program documentation to see what is
the meaning of the user abend 4087 and of the reason code
after that everything should go smoothly ( better understanding of what is happening)

we do not anything of Your environment at the moment of the abend
so anything we might say is just a guess

Faint recolection, but aren't most of those ABEND=S000 U408n usually generated by unhandled LE errors?

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

This abend is not the one issued from program. Program is trying to write a record but before that JCL is trying to allocate space.

Suppose say I am giving space as (10,10) in Cyl, what it is doing it is trying to increase the secondary space later again trying to decrease the space, finally abending due to in sufficient memory.

When I mentioned DSORG=PS in DCB the job went fine.

The only question is what is the reason the job went fine when I used dataset organization, is it going to cause any issue if I use this(Like loosing the data)

Thanks and Regards,

Hello,

Yes, it is. JCL cannot issue abend codes. . . Only executing code can abend.

Mentioning DSORG is probably incidental. If you run the job 10 times - 5 with dsorg and 5 without do all 5 without dsorg abend? Do all 5 with dsorg succeed?

I believe you will still need to resolve why there was insufficient memory. Otherwise it will likely happen again.
