RC148 An unidentified error occurred while VSAM was searching the catalog. Is there a FILE01 DD statement in you IDCAMS JCL? Does it point to the correct volume/dsn? >From : http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/FRAMESET/IEA2M7C0/S PTDP02801 IEC161I RC32 Specific information for this return code: The catalog record for the data set being processed was not found. During end-of-volume (EOV) processing, the error can also occur if an additional volume is required for a data set but the catalog contains no more volume records for the data set. For message IEC070I, the subfunction information field, if present, might contain a decimal problem-determination code (reason code) for use by the IBM Support Center in case further problem diagnosis is necessary. The following table lists the reason codes for return code 032. Is there a FILE01 DD statement in you IDCAMS JCL? Does it point to the correct volume/dsn? Please post the entire job stream <snip> Please advise what this message code means. The manuals are not very informative. I try to verify a catalog, and this message is generated, failing with RC=12. The error has something to do with the opening of the catalog. The reason code is what I need to know.
