CIA01003E: FILE-STARTBR-ERRMSG

Explanation

An EXEC CICS STARTBR command to a VSAM file has failed in a CICS® Service Flow Runtime system module or has failed in one of your generated FEPI navigator programs.

If reported by a generated FEPI navigator, a start browse with the GENERIC and EQUAL options specified to the alternate index SLU Connection file, DFHMAC1F, has failed.

If reported by CICS SFR system module DFHMALFC, a start browse with the GTEQ option specified to the Link3270 business state file DFHMAL2F has failed. The Link3270 business state file system cleanup modules, DFHMALFC, may have executed to delete expired Link3270 facilities and associated state while performing request processing. This is not recommended. For more information on facility state cleanup processing, see Facility state cleanup processing in the CICS Service Flow Runtime.

User response

Dump the error log DFHMAERF to determine the problem. Check the file attributes and that the file is defined correctly and enabled to CICS. A not found condition (NOTFND) will not cause this error message: CICS response code = 13.
