Condition

Issued when a DADSM function such as CREATE, RENAME, SCRATCH, or EXTEND fails, with the message carrying a function name, return code, and diagnostic information describing why — common causes include SMS status disagreeing between the caller and the catalog, or the dataset's cataloged status not matching its actual DSCB.

Fix

Use the return code and diagnostic data in the message text to identify the failing function and reason, and where a catalog/SMS mismatch is at fault, correct the catalog entry (for example with a DELETE NOSCRATCH/re-catalog sequence) before retrying the operation.
