Issue/Introduction

The Datacom CICS Services Version 15.1 PAX was unzipped into their USS directory /<path>/csf/DCCF1B0.

The SAMPJCL member to SMP/e RECEIVE job  was edited to specify that  PATH location:

//RCVBD    EXEC PGM=GIMSMP,PARM='DATE=U',REGION=0M                  
//SMPJHOME DD PATHDISP=KEEP,                                        
// PATH='/usr/lpp/java/J8.0_64/'                                    
//SMPCSI   DD DISP=SHR,DSN=<hlq>.CSI                        
//SMPNTS   DD PATHDISP=KEEP,                                        
//         PATH='/<path>/csf/DCCF1B0'

          ) .   
                                                                                         
Why did the above resulted in the following SMP/e error:
             
GIM45800S ** PACKAGE DCCF1B0 WAS NOT FOUND IN THE SMPNTS.

Resolution

When using the FROMNTS keyword in the SMP/E RECEIVE it is expected that a subdirectory with the name specified in the FROMNTS keyword exists in this path and contains the input to SMP/e.

Since the SMP/e RECEIVE specified the subdirectory in FROMNTS, the PATH must NOT include that subdirectory name.

The SMP/e PATH should have been specified as /<path>/csf removing the subdirectory DCCF1B0.
