I get the below error on mainframe
(FOC198) FATAL ERROR IN DATABASE I/O. FOCUS TERMINATING ERROR WRITING
FMDOSSTP, PAGE 262144, CODE 0x0000cccc
So I need to create an xfocus database
In FMDOSST1 master i have given suffix=XFOCUS

I gave the below commands
-SET &ECHO=ALL ;
-TYPE IN REBUILD1
REBUILD
REORG
DUMP
FMDOSSTP
NO
-RUN
-SET XFOCUS = ON;
REBUILD
REORG
LOAD
FMDOSST1
-RUN
TABLE FILE FMDOSST1
COUNT SUB_GROUP
I it faling with an error
REFERENCE..AT SEGMENT 346000
(FOC389) FOCUS DATABASE PAGE INTEGRITY VIOLATION DETECTED IN: FMDOSST1
RECORDED PAGE 3350, REQUESTED 3328
Pls let me know how to progress

I also directly tried MODIFY FILE FMDOSST1
For which it gave the below

(FOC1001) ACCESS NOT SUPPORTED. CHECK SUFFIX IN THE MASTER /XFOCUS
(FOC1001) ACCESS NOT SUPPORTED. CHECK SUFFIX IN THE MASTER /FOC

Pls provide a way forward
In both the cases focus database itself is created by IDCAMS LRECL=4096,RECFM=F,BLKSIZE=4096

What release are you on, that XFOCUS is supported but XFC is off by default?

Anyway, (a) is a Dialogue Manager statement, equivalent to
-SET &XFOCUS = ON;
which just creates a DM variable names &XFOCUS; it has no effect on the FOCUS session settings.

Change it to
SET XFOCUS=ON
and (b) and (c) will probably be solved.

Hi
Tnx for your reply.
We are having FOCUS78 & when i say
SET XFOCUS=ON it is not being recognised
It throws FOC324 Error

But when i do CHECK FILE FMDOSST1 it is not giving error for suffix=xfocus
Pls let me know what i have to do

(A) Release 7.0.8 (or 7.0.8R)? XFOCUS is not supported prior to Release 7.3.1.

(B) CHECK FILE does not validate the SUFFIX value

(C) Upgrade.

BTW, XFOCUS requires LRECL=16384.

am unable to create lrecl=16,avgrec=k I get an error in IDCAMS

You don't needs IDCAMS.

Catalog it in a FOCUS jobstep [with LRECL and BLKSIZE = 16384 (not "16"!)].

Put a CREATE FILE command in the Focus SYSIN stream. The Focus CREATE command will initialize all the pages in the first extent.
