CICS BAC Generic SET FILE command fails with CBKSC8008E 00000048 19D42388 00000000 3111

Question & Answer

Question

Why is the CICS Batch Application Control Generic SET FILE command failing with message CBKSC8008E and Error codes 00000048 19D42388 00000000 USER COMPLETION CODE 3111? I applied CICS Batch Application Control for z/OS V1.1.1 PTF UI26219 for the Generic Set File request support described in APAR PI23581 but the generic SET FILE request fails.

Usually, there is a 'DOC' holderror outlining new requirements to activate a feature like this.

I tried testing the new Generic SET FILE enhancement. I am getting the exact same result as I obtained before installing the maintenance:

 SET FILE(CIU*),OPENSTATUS(OPENED),ENABLESTATUS(ENABLED)

...results in message:

 CBKBV2807E Invalid character in parameter value at offset 9.

I updated my CBKPARM with GENSETFILE(YES) and tried running with the generic file name. I get messages:

 CBKBN2834I Generic set file commands allowed for this CICS BAC batch request utility job step.

The CICS CBKLOG showed:

 CBKCI8518I    1 GENFILE  START     CIU*     O=O E=E

However, I received the following error when CICS tried to process the request:

 CBKSC8008E Unknown error received from region myregion during CBAC request. Error codes: 00000048   19D42388 00000000 USER COMPLETION CODE=3111

I need help understanding these error codes and the completion code.

Answer

I asked the CICS BAC developer and his guess is that the program definition for CBKCGSFB may be missing in the CICS region. CBKCGFSB was a new program added by the Generic Set File (GSF) enhancement. There is a sample definition in the CBKPROGS SAMPLIB member. I also submitted an IBM Knowledge Center feedback form to document the GENSETFILE CBKPARM and error code descriptions for the CBKCS800E message.
