BLD971S OPEN OF CONTROL-M {ACTIVE | HISTORY} JOBS FILE FAILED

Explanation: Either the FORMCKP utility, which allocates and formats the Active Jobs file, or the FORMHST utility, which allocates and formats the Active History file, failed to open the file for formatting.

Possible causes are:

• The DACKPT DD statement (for the Active Jobs file) is missing.
• The DAHIST DD statement (for the History Jobs file) is missing.
• There is insufficient memory for the job.

The utility ends with a condition code of 08.

Corrective Action: If a DD statement is missing, add the correct DD statement and rerun the job. If the problem is memory, specify a higher value for the REGION parameter.

BLD975S CONTROL-M {ACTIVE | HISTORY} JOBS FILE WRITE ERROR

Explanation: An I/O error occurred while formatting the Control-M Active Jobs file or History Jobs file.

• The DALOG DD statement is missing.

• The file allocated to the DALOG DD statement is the IOA Log file, but it is from a different version or a different IOA installation.

Corrective Action: Correct the JCL and rerun the job. For more information about the FORMCKP utility, see the INCONTROL for z/OS Utilities Guide.
