Problem:
Issuing a TSS GENREQ command results in the following message:
TSS0301I GENREQ FUNCTION FAILED, RETURN CODE = 4
Cause:
The DCDSN is pre-allocated.
Resolution:
The DCDSN dataset must not be pre-allocated.
The allocation of the dataset is part of the TSS GENREQ command execution.
Pre-allocation will result in trying to allocate a duplicate dataset and therefore, the command fails with a:
TSS0301I GENREQ FUNCTION FAILED, RETURN CODE = 4
Additional Information:
Please refer to the CA Top Secret Command Function Guide in r15.0 or the below link in r16.0 for more details about the TSS GENREQ command.
