General Information
If a job tries to create a data set that already exists, the job may fail with a
DUPLICATE DATASET ON VOLUME error. If a job tries to create a
data set whose name is already cataloged, the job may fail with an error
message that indicates a reason of NOT CATLGD for reason code 2 (the
CONTROL-M/Restart term PREVENT-NCT2 is derived from this error
situation).
These problems can be avoided by performing data set cleanup. During
data set cleanup, CONTROL-M/Restart does the following:
•
Deletes and uncatalogs the old data sets. This prevents DUPLICATE
DATSET ON VOLUME and NOT CATLGD 2 errors.
