May 16, 2007 'IDC2950I INVALID FORMAT STRUCTURE' on MASTERCATALOG LISTCAT

For a detailed description please see IDC2950I INVALID FORMAT STRUCTURE (PDF, 24KB)

June 26, 2003 Large Dasd (3390 model F) Exploitation in VSE/ESA 2.6 and VSE/ESA 2.7:
In order to exploit the Large DASD Support in VSE/VSAM, it is vital and essential to install the PTF for APAR DY46113 which prevents the following problems:
  1. Definition of a cluster with an allocation of only 1 cylinder and specifying Bufferspace less than 8704 bytes will result in a cluster that will overlap other files when loaded.
  2. Definition of a Large DASD as a candidate volume, if initial volume is not a Large DASD, will result in an unpredictable allocation in tracks and overlapping extents upon extension to the Large DASD.
