Incident: the customer file reload rejects records

PAGE 04:05 SEV2 - Job CUSTLOAD ended RC=0012
Change CHG4410 deployed 18:00: new version of the customer extract program

Every night CUSTLOAD rebuilds the customer file, a VSAM key-sequenced data set (KSDS) keyed on the 8-character customer number: it deletes and redefines the cluster, then loads it from LEARNER.CUST.EXTRACT with IDCAMS REPRO. A new extract program went live this evening. Tonight CUSTLOAD ended RC 12 and the KSDS holds only a few customers. Get all 12 customers loaded.

What you will do

  1. Read the IDCAMS output
  2. Look at the extract
  3. Fix the job so the reload works, and rerun
