DWW0243E

An illegal record length is in the after-image record. The data set is dddd .

Explanation

CICS® VR has found an after-image with an invalid record length when recovering from a z/OS® log. The keyword value FIXED in the FCTCOMP command is not specified. The CICS VR default is VARIABLE. Thus, CICS assumes the first 4 bytes to be the record descriptor word (RDW). Refer to z/OS DFSMS Macro Instructions for Data Sets for more information about the RDW.

System action

CICS VR stops the recovery for this sphere and continues for the other spheres.

User response

Include the FCTCOMP FIXED command and keyword, and then rerun CICS VR. If CICS VR applied updates to the VSAM data set, restore a new copy from the backup before you rerun the job.
