Error code Message and description
1201 Found task taskname in audit
This informational message indicates that Span met the requirements set by the STOP option. It has found the task indicated in the STOP option and will terminate at the next quiet point.
1202 Exceeded audit file limit: n
This is an informational message that informs you that Span met the requirements set by the STOP option. Span has processed the number of audit files (n) indicated in the STOP option and will terminate at the next QPT.
1203 Exceeded audit timestamp limit: time
This is an informational message that informs you that Span met the requirements set by the STOP option. Span passed the timestamp indicated in the STOP option and will terminate at the next QPT.
1204 Encountered record limit: n
This is an informational message that informs you that Span met the requirement set by the STOP option. Span received the number of record updates indicated (n) in the STOP option and will terminate at the next QPT.
1205 Error repositioning filename
This message indicates a problem with a SEEK command on one of the Span output files. This problem might be a hardware problem. If the hardware is functioning properly and the error message persists, contact Technical Support.
1206 No dataset entries in parameter file
This message indicates that you did not select any data sets to be processed. Remove the percentage sign (%) in front of the status information for the data sets you want to replicate.
1207 Creating new parameter file filename
This message indicates that Span is creating the specified parameter file.
1208 No header in existing file
The Span parameter file indicates that the output data files will contain a header record showing the starting and ending audit locations contained in the file. Span tried to read an existing output file’s header record but did not find it. It is likely that the HEADER option was changed to TRUE in the parameter file after the output file was created. If this is the case, transfer the output file to the target system and remove it from the source system so that Span does not find it. Then rerun Span.
1209 Ending location too short in existing file
The Span parameter file indicates that the output data files will contain a header record showing the starting and ending audit locations contained in the file. Span tried to read an existing output file’s header record, but the area for the ending audit location information was too short.

Although a corrupted output file could cause this problem, it is more likely that the HEADER option was changed to TRUE in the parameter file after the output file was created. If this is the case, transfer the output file to the target system and remove it from the source system so that Span does not find it. Then rerun Span.
1210 Output file audit location mismatch
This message can occur when the following conditions are true:
  • HEADER = TRUE in the Span parameter file
  • You are running Span version 2.0 or later
  • A Span UPDATES file is present
In this case, Span tried to append data to an existing output data file with HEADER=TRUE but found that the existing file’s header doesn’t match the current audit location. Span renames the file .../BAD and opens a new data file.

To avoid this message, move any UPDATES files created by a previous version of Span before you run the current version. If the current version of Span created the existing UPDATES file, then either the Span parameter file was replaced with an older version, or the UPDATES file was replaced with an older version.
1211 Previous end location = auditlocation
This is an informational message that tells you the audit file location (AFN, ABSN, SEG, and INX) according to the header record in an existing output file from which Span will start to gather updates. This message is displayed when there is a conflict between the audit location in the parameter file and the audit location in the header record of an output file.
1212 Current start location = auditlocation
This is an informational message that tells you the audit file location (AFN, ABSN, SEG, and INX) according to the header record in an existing output file. The header record corresponds to the first data record in the output file. This message is displayed when there is a conflict between the audit location in the parameter file and the audit location in the header record of an output file.
1218 No starting location in existing file
The Span parameter file indicates that the output data files will contain a header record showing the starting and ending audit locations contained in the file. Span tried to read an existing output file’s header record but did not find the delimiter indicating the starting location. The output file is probably corrupted. Either remove it or replace it from a backup copy. Then rerun Span.
1219 No ending location in existing file
The Span parameter file indicates that the output data files will contain a header record showing the starting and ending audit locations contained in the file. Span tried to read an existing output file’s header record but did not find the delimiter indicating the ending location. Most likely, the output file is corrupted. Either remove it or replace it from a backup copy.
1220 parameter must be greater than 0. Adjusting to nnn
The Span parameter file contained a negative value for parameter. Span automatically adjusts it to nnn.
1221 MAXRECSIZE not file-equated. Using default nnn bytes
This is a warning message. The Span parameter file says to write a consolidated output file to tape, but the WFL did not specify a MAXRECSIZE for OUTFILE. Tape files must have a fixed record size. Span will use a MAXRECSIZE of nnn bytes for OUTFILE. Records longer than that will be truncated.
1222 datasetname formatted record size nnn truncated to mmm bytes
This is a warning message. The output file record size specified for datasetname in the Span parameter file, mmm, is smaller than the size of a formatted record, nnn, for datasetname. The records will be truncated.
1223 datasetname attribute cannot exceed nnn. Adjusting to mmm
The output file record size, block size, or area size for datasetname (or DEFAULT) in the Span parameter file is larger than the mainframe size limit of nnn and will be changed to mmm.
