Determining the Cause of STORE and RESTORE Errors
Some STORE and RESTORE errors cause the program not to store or restore a
particular file. Others cause the program to stop running. When STORE
or RESTORE cannot transfer files that you named in your command, it lists
the names of those files on your terminal as part of its standard
progress listing.
When STORE or RESTORE aborts because of an error, you see one of the
following messages:
STORE ABORTED BECAUSE OF ERROR
or
RESTORE ABORTED BECAUSE OF ERROR (CIERR 1091)
You can use the STOREJCW job control word (JCW) to determine the cause of
an error and a proper recovery procedure. Each time you issue a STORE or
RESTORE command, the system updates the value assigned to STOREJCW.
When STOREJCW is equal to 0, the command executed successfully. STOREJCW
values greater than 0 alert you to the cause of an error.
NOTE Issuing the VSTORE command also results in the system updating the
value assigned to STOREJCW.
Viewing the Value of STOREJCW
To view the value assigned to STOREJCW, use the following SHOWVAR
command:
:SHOWVAR STOREJCW
The system reports the current value. For example:
STOREJCW=4
Determining the Cause of an Error
The value of STOREJCW after you issue a STORE, RESTORE, or VSTORE command
tells you the cause of any errors in storing, restoring, or verifying the
files you named. To determine the cause of an error:
1. Use the SHOWVAR command to view the value of STOREJCW.
2. Look up that value in Table A-1 . In addition to the cause of
an error, Table A-1 displays recommended recovery procedures.
