CHK426W {GENERAL |dailytype} "DAILY" DID NOT RUN FOR nnn DAYS

Explanation: Highlighted, unrollable message.

The difference between the current working date and the original scheduling date (positions 1 through 6 in the Date Control Record) is more than one day. The New Day procedure has not run for nnn days. A New Day procedure is expected to run once a day.

Probable causes are:

The value of dailytype can be GENERAL for the New Day procedure or the job name of a regular User Daily job.

For User Daily jobs, processing continues. Missions are selected according to the RETRO parameter.

For the New Day procedure, this message appears highlighted on the operator console, together with either the CTM427W or CTD427W and CTM428W or CTD428W message. If the operator answers YES, processing continues, taking the RETRO parameter of each job into consideration. If the operator answers NO, the New Day procedure stops executing with an error message.

If a long period of Control-D inactivity (more than 28 days) is detected, message CHK42AW is issued before message CHK427W, and you must manually update the date in the Date Control Record (DDATEREC member) before proceeding.

Corrective Action: If the computer was IPLed with the wrong date, answer NO, correct the problem, and then activate the New Day procedure manually. Control-M or Control-D will not work until the problem is resolved.

CHK427W IS IT TRUE? (ANSWER "YES" OR "NO")

Explanation: Highlighted, unrollable message.

The last run of the New Day procedure was more than 24 hours ago. This message appears together with the CHK426W, CTM426W, or CTD426W and CHK428W, CTM428W, or CTD428W messages. For more details, see the CHK426W message.

The New Day procedure waits for the operator response.

Corrective Action: If the computer was IPLed with the wrong date, answer NO, correct the problem, and then activate the New Day procedure manually. Control-M or Control-D will not work until the problem is resolved.

CHK428W YOUR ANSWER IS:

CHK429S {CTMCHK | CTDCHK | CTBCHK} ENDED WITH ERRORS

Explanation: The CTMCHK, CTDCHK, or CTBCHK program ended with errors. It is activated as part of the New Day procedure. The IOA Log should contain an earlier message about the error.

The New Day procedure finishes executing with a condition code of 08.

Corrective Action: Check the IOA Log for error messages. If necessary, manually correct the Date Control Record (date-3 and date-5) to allow the next run of the User Daily job. For more information, see the INCONTROL for z/OS Administrator Guide.

CHK42AW PLEASE UPDATE THE DDATEREC MEMBER BEFORE YOU ANSWER

Explanation: A long period of Control-D inactivity was detected. The last run of the New Day procedure was more than 28 days ago. This message appears after the CHK426W message and before the CHK427W message.

Corrective Action: Before proceeding, manually update the dates that appear in the DDATEREC member in the CTD PARM library and are pointed to by ddname DACHK in the Newday procedure.

CHK430E POSSIBLE ABEND OF PREVIOUS DAILY RUN!

Explanation: A previous run of the same New Day procedure probably abended.

The New Day procedure terminates with errors.

Corrective Action: Correct the Date Control Record and rerun the New Day procedure. As a result of the last abend, dates 2, 3 and dates 4, 5, in the Date Control Record are not identical - they should be. If you correct them to the values of date 3 or date 6, a rerun of the New Day procedure schedules all the jobs in the New Day procedure for the days after dates 2 through 5 until the date designated in date 1 (the current original scheduling date). Do not schedule the same job twice.

For more information, see the Control-M for z/OS User Guide or the Control-D and Control-V User Guide.

CHK431I {CTMCHK | CTDCHK | CTBCHK} STARTED

Explanation: This information message indicates that the CTMCHK, CTDCHK, or CTBCHK program, which is activated by the New Day procedure, started executing.

Corrective Action: No action is required.

CHK432I {CTMCHK | CTDCHK | CTBCHK} ENDED

Explanation: This information message indicates that the CTMCHK, CTDCHK, or CTBCHK program, which is activated by the New Day procedure, ended normally.

Corrective Action: No action is required.

CHK433S DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CURRENT AND LAST RUN OF THIS DAILY IS NEGATIVE BY numDays

Explanation: The current working date in the computer is before the last original scheduling date of this New Day procedure.

This message is issued by the New Day procedure as a result of incorrect dates in the Date Control Record. For more information, see the Control-M for z/OS User Guide or the Control-D and Control-V User Guide.

The New Day procedure stops executing with an error message.

Corrective Action: Correct the contents of the Date Control Record, and rerun the Daily. If this problem occurs under the New Day procedure, call your system programmer. The problem should be resolved immediately as the Control-M or Control-D monitor will not be able to operate. Check whether the computer has been IPLed with the correct date.

CHK434W THIS DAILY HAS ALREADY BEEN RUN TODAY

Explanation: The same New Day procedure has already been run today. The current working date in the computer is equal to the last original scheduling date - positions 1 through 6 in the Date Control Record (the DACHK DD statement).

For more information, see the Control-M for z/OS User Guide or the Control-D and Control-V User Guide.

Processing terminates with a return code of 8.

Corrective Action: Check the result of the run carefully for possible errors. If the Control-M or Control-D monitor is up and running, there is no need to run the New Day procedure. It was probably started by accident. In any case, have your INCONTROL administrator look at the problem. It is possible that the computer was IPLed with the wrong date.

CHK435S OPERATOR RESPONDED "NO"

Explanation: The operator answered NO to the CHK428W, CTM428W, or CTD428W message.

The New Day procedure stops executing.

CHK437I date control record content

Explanation: This informational message is issued when Newday processing is initiated. In place of date control record content, it displays the contents of the first record of the DATEREC member in the CTM PARM library pointed to by ddname DACHK in the Newday procedure. For explanations of the dates displayed, see the INCONTROL for z/OS Administrator Guide, “CTM,” “Date Control Records and Enhanced Daily Checkpointing.”

Corrective Action: No action is required.

CHK438W REPLY 'U' TO UPDATE DATEREC TO CURRENT DAY EXECUTION OR 'E' TO END

Explanation: Highlighted, unrollable message.

An error condition is detected while processing the first record of the DATEREC member in the CTM PARM library pointed to by ddname DACHK in the Newday procedure. This message is usually preceded by another error message detailing the error encountered. Some reasons that this message might be issued are:

The Newday procedure waits for operator response.

Corrective Action: Review the preceding error messages to determine the actions necessary to correct the problem. If the problem can be corrected by setting the dates in the DATEREC record to the current working date, enter U. After Control-M automatically updates the DATEREC record, Newday processing resumes.

Otherwise, enter E and then correct the problem manually. For example, if the computer was IPLed with the wrong date, enter E, correct the computer date, and then reactivate Newday manually.

CHK439W REPLY 'C' TO CONTINUE, 'U' TO UPDATE DATEREC TO CURRENT DAY EXECUTION, OR 'E' TO END

Explanation: Highlighted, unrollable message.

Following initiation of the Newday procedure, Control-M issued message CHK426W (warning that more than a day has passed since the previous run of Newday).

The Newday procedure waits for operator response.

Corrective Action: Review the explanation of message CHK426W to determine if this is an error situation. If this is not an error situation, enter C ; Newday proceeds using the existing dates in the DATEREC record. If this is an error situation and the problem can be corrected by setting the dates in the DATEREC record to the current working date, enter U. After Control-M automatically updates the DATEREC record, Newday processing resumes.

Otherwise, enter E and then correct the problem manually. For example, if the computer was IPLed with the wrong date, enter E, correct the computer date, and then reactivate Newday manually.

CHK43AI NEWDAY EXECUTION CONTINUING WITH ODATE odate

Explanation: This informational message is issued when the response to message CHK438W or CHK439W was U. It informs the user that Newday processing continues, using odate as the current working date.

The Newday procedure resumes.

Corrective Action: No action is required.

CHK43BE DATE CONTROL RECORD CONTAINS AN INVALID DATE AT POSITION col

Explanation: During Newday initiation, an invalid date was detected in the first record of the DATEREC member in the CTM PARM library pointed to by ddname DACHK. The date in error is in column col of the record. (For explanations of the dates displayed, see the INCONTROL for z/OS Administrator Guide, “CTM,” “Date Control Records and Enhanced Daily Checkpointing.”)
