Ted, Sorry Ted. I did not you there. The choice was to remove SYSIGGV2 from MIM or convert the reserve for the RECON datasets to a Global ENQ. We chose the latter and the problem never happened again. This was actually a fairly common problem for IMS sites after converting SYSIGGV2 reserves

Ted, Maybe a senior moment, but it could have been SYSVSAM and not SYSIGGV2 that was converted by MIM. I'm pretty sure we had the problem with IMS 1.2 - we were still running LOGPLUS for DASD Logging. It was definitely before MVS ESA. Problem 7:04/02 (PMR 15737,379,000) --

Larry, If you have FDR you can use FDRDSF PRINT to print CYL=0 to see if there is IPLTEXT on a volume. The output will be in hex format and if it has IPLTEXT, it will be in the IPL1 or IPL2 labeled areas. //STEP01 EXEC PGM=FDRDSF,REGION=0M //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=* //TAPE1 DD
