What is the best place to view ABEND descriptions? Specifically, I'm trying to find the description of ABEND S213 with Reason Code 14.

I am able to find the explanation of this ABEND in general - but i'm not being able to find the specific explanation when the reason code is 14.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Apurva M.

213

Explanation: The error occurred during processing of an OPEN macro instruction
for a direct access device. This system completion code is accompanied by
message IEC143I. Refer to the explanation of message IEC143I for complete
information about the task that was ended and for an explanation of the return
code (rc in the message text) in register 15.

System programmer response: If the error recurs and the program is not in
error, look at the messages in the job log for more information. Search
problem reporting data bases for a fix for the problem. If no fix exists,
contact the IBM Support Center. Provide the JCL and the program listing for
the job.

Code:
OPEN failed because the data set type was large format sequential, but the application program could not access the whole data set on the volume. Both of the following are true:•The access method is either EXCP being opened for UPDAT or output processing or the access method is BSAM with the NOTE or POINT function requested and is being opened for output processing.
•BLOCKTOKENSIZE=LARGE is not specified on the DCBE.

You are a member of the Expert forum and have been for 2 years and you do not know about the messages and codes manuals? And you did not know how to Google a message id?

For future reference there is a link to commonly used IBM manuals at the very top of each page of the forum. The messages and codes section is quite a bit down.

You need two manuals.
  • MVS System Codes for your z/OS release. The description may include a related message id (and most x13 ABENDs do) in
  • MVS System Messages. Actually there are quite a few of them, but the manual title usually indicates the messages in the manual. MVS System Messages, Vol 7 (IEB-IEE) for example. The actual titles change from release to release, but that will get you started.
Many times the message description is hard to understand; we can usually help you.

In this case, the data set you are trying to open is a "large" format data set, that is, it has more than 65535 tracks allocated to it. Sadly, the message description is telling you that you will probably have to change your program, or at least allocate a smaller data set.
