B Correct answer
Explanation

Too many tracks specified for cylinder overflow during ISAM dataset open maps to S002 - 2C. This error indicates an invalid cylinder overflow configuration where the track count exceeds limits. The 2C code specifically identifies this overflow allocation error.

AI explanation

When opening an ISAM dataset, the system validates the cylinder overflow area allocation; specifying too many tracks for cylinder overflow triggers abend code S002 with reason code 2C. This is a dataset-definition-time error tied specifically to ISAM's overflow area sizing rules.
