3.5.6 Elimination of OSAM U0080 Open, Close, or EOV abends
Previous versions of IMS had rare problems in OSAM open, close, or end-of-volume
processing. When they occurred, the entire IMS system terminated with the U0080 abend.
IMS 12 has changed this processing. When such problems occur, the database is closed and
marked recovery needed. The abend does not occur. Additionally, message DFS0730I is
issued for open or close problems. X is included as the first character in the reason code. The
yy and z values identify the actual problem (Example 3-30).
