hello ,

Please help me to know to solve JCL System Abends SB37, SD37

SB37 is space abend, end of volume cond. Increase the work space of the dataset and restart it from the aborted step. I think SD37 should be similar to sb37. can you let me know what does the error message reads for sd37?

SD37, SB37, SE37 abends:

All indicate dataset out of space.
SD37 - no secondary allocation was specified.
SB37 - end of vol. and no further volumes specified.
SE37 - Max. of 16 extents already allocated.

So to solve SD37, one must specify secondary quantity while allocating a dataset.

I agree with all the replied given above.

SYMPTOM: ABEND SD37, SB37 or SE37 ABEND on a Sequential Output File.

CAUSE: The amount of data associated with the ABENDing sequential output file exceeded the capacity of the SPACE sub-parameter of the associated DD statement, or the available space on the Volume on which the sequential output file resides has been exhausted.

SOLUTION: Rename the Problem file to another dataset name ("DSN"). Create a new dataset with the desired target DSN and a more generous SPACE capacity.

Hope this information might help you.

Hi,

Other way is to use the EXPAND utility to increase the primary/Secondary Space.

SB37 you can avoid also by compressing the data by giving DATCLAS=COMPRESS

Whereas also you can declare the dataset as tapefile, if its very big another alternative is to create GDG where in generation you can give size of cylinder such as(100,100) ..Primary,seconday allocation..
this you can not give in plain PS dataset as limit to user is max specific to system such 43 cylinders , you can give max only (8,3).

So best is go for tape or try compress the data

Hi Sudheer,

Could you provide a link to further info on EXPAND? It sounds very interesting.

Thanx and

sb37 problem occur due to secondary space problem.better create new dataset.
se37:problem occur due to compress problem.first compress the data set.

Hi Guna,

We have EXPAND toll which take Dataset name as input it shows the present trks/blks/cyl of the dataset and ask to enter the new space requirement if present some blks we can increase it to cyl and so on.

I will get a snapshot of that Screen.

Hi Sudheer,
Whether EXPAND is an IBM utility? Please explain where can we use it?

Thanks and Regards,
Vidya Bhat

Hi,

This is snapshot of Expand Utility at our Shop.We use it to increase the size from Trks to CYL something like that.

I will try if there any tutorial for the same if have it i would send it.

Have you ever tried see if your program isn't in looping?
