Question related to a free trial, or to a production (customer) instance?

Production customer, I just join Adabas team and learning.

LOAD utility is expecting a file that is compressed.

It would either be output of Compress or Unload.

Sounds like you are trying to LOAD a flat file.

Just a suggestion.

Thanks for your feedback.
I am following the steps and I think the sample file provided do not have a header.
Any other help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Can you supply the link to the documentation that you are following? That would help clarify what you are missing. There should be an input file //DEBAND DD statement that points to the input file - is that in your JCL? A copy and paste of your JCL would also help.

Is this the installation procedure you are following? Installing Adabas for z/OS, which has more details at Installing Adabas for z/OS (may be a different database version level, but similar content). If so, have you run the preceding ADALODE, ADALODV, ADALODM jobs successfully? if the “sample file” you are loading exists, does it have any content (try viewing with ISPF Browse utility).

The ADALODP sample job has 2 steps: compress and load (likely 2 load steps - base file, then LOB file). Your messages appear to come form the load step - the sample file would be supplied to the compress (ADACMP) step //DDEBAND DD and the output from ADACMP would be in //DDAUSBA - that output would be the input dataset to ADALOD //DDEBAND. The //DDAUSB1 output would be used as input to the second load step for the LOB file.

Hello,

I’m on step 8
8 Load the demonstration files with the ADALODE, ADALODV, ADALODM, and ADALODP jobs.
Completed ADALODE,ADALODV and ADALODM.
I tried to upload my job output but encountered this pop up saying Sorry, new user can not upload attachments and links

I will cut and paste the job output here

Could it be the …PERC dataset provide do not have the FDT ?

Please re-read my earlier post.

  • supply a copy of the JCL. Not the output.
  • your JES listing shows one job step. As I mentioned, the ADALODP job has 3 steps: a compress (ADACMP) and 2 load (ADALOD) steps. Your JES listing shows that you are only doing a load, so you are missing the ADACMP step.

All the prior jobs you ran were just ADALOD jobs. ADALODP is different because you have to run a compress on the flat file data and the FDT is supplied as input to the ADACMP step via the DDKARTE DD. Once ADACMP is done, its outputs (DDAUSBA, DDAUSB1) are used as inputs to the ADALOD steps.

SYS1.ADABASY.PERC is the DDEBAND input for the ADACMP step. You are using it as input to the ADALOD step (also DDEBAND) instead of the output file from ADACMP (DDAUSBA).

On the first ADALOD step (LODPERS) your DDEBAND needs to be
//DDEBAND DD DISP=OLD,DSN=ADABAS.TEST.ADATST12.PERS

11

Thanks.
Change
//DDEBAND DD DISP=OLD,DSN=SYS1.ADABASY.PERS
to
//DDEBAND DD DISP=OLD,DSN=ADABAS.TEST.ADATST12.PERS
