Condition

Accompanies system completion code E37/SE37: an output operation on tape or direct access failed because there was no more room to extend the dataset — the current volume is full and no additional candidate volume was available, or the installation's allocation rules rejected the extension.

Fix

Add more candidate volumes or a larger volume count to the allocation, increase secondary space so fewer and larger extents are needed, and check whether the storage group or pool genuinely has free capacity.
