Hi Board,
I tried to copy the input data shown like below into VSAM Dataset using IDCAMS-REPRO.

VSAM DS has been created with: KEYS(006,0)

It copied successfully and MAXCC=0

I tried to copy the input data which is like below:

100010AAA10

It has given MAXCC=8

And I tried to copy the input data like below:

100009AAA09
100010AAA10

It has got abended with MAXCC=8

And I tried to copy the input data which is like below:

100008AAA08
100009AAA09
100010AAA10

It has got abended with MAXCC=8

I tried to copy the input data which is like below:

100007AAA07
100008AAA08
100009AAA09
100010AAA10

It has got abended with MAXCC=12.

Can anyone tell why the MAXCC=12 came. Why I didn't get MAXCC=8.
If there are more than 3 records to be processed then it is abended with MAXCC=12. If it is <=3 then it has got abended with MAXCC=8. What could be reason?

PS: I know that it is out of sequence error. But I couldn't find WHY 12? WHY NOT 8.

ramu_mohan21,

The reason for the different condition codes is the ERRORLIMIT('VALUE') parameter of REPRO.

ERRORLIMIT('VALUE') - specifies the number of errors REPRO copy data set will tolerate.
'VALUE' - Specifies the number of errors. The number range may range from 1 TO 2,147,483,647. The default value is 4.

once you cross that default limit , your job will abend.

Hope this helps...

Cheers

Kolusu

Hi Kolusu,
Thank you very much for the responce and detailed explanation. Where this "ERRORLIMIT('VALUE')" can be set. Right now I didn't specify this parameter in my JCL. Is this is a default(Internal) value for REPRO.

Ramu_mohan21,

4 is the default limit for the errorlimit parm on repro. You can overide it as you like .
