Why am I getting message DB00501E OPEN ERR 68(12) when I start up my APCDDS supplied MUF JCL in Datacom/AD?

Environment

 Datacom/AD  APCDDS

Resolution

DATACOM/AD release 10.0 was not available when the current APCDDS release 1.1 was distributed; With the 10.0 and above version of DATACOM/AD, the MUF parameters were changed.  The MUF control cards that were supplied with APCDDS 1.1 release are no longer valid and can cause errors.

MUF startup options in DBDATIN1(DATACOM), and TKMUFS02(APCDDS) need to include:

MUF      ADMUF01,99,YES
ECHO    NO

Also, the RESTART option is not allowed with DATACOM/AD 10.0 or higher. Remove step 1 from the CATKMUFS PROC which will eliminate invoking this option.
