CPF

CPF9803 Cannot allocate object

Most common cause

Another job holds a lock that conflicts with the requested operation (ALCOBJ, DLTF, CLRPFM).

Other causes

  • The same job has the object open elsewhere (activation group still active).
  • A save in progress.

How to fix it

WRKOBJLCK shows who holds the lock. In CL use MONMSG CPF9803 with a wait and a retry, or raise ALCOBJ's WAIT parameter.
