File Master Plus for IMS File Master Plus for DB2 for z/OS

Issue/Introduction

I'm trying to issue a File Master Plus MVS COPY in batch using ISPF file containing packed data ,
PDS member file or Sequential file , and getting the following message:

PDS File *** CAWA2114W DDNAME SYSUT1+0 points to an ISPF packed file which is not supported
SEQ File *** CAWA2114W DDNAME SYSUT1+0 points to an ISPF packed file which is not supported



How to resolve this?

CA-Filemaster Plus MVS don't support ISPF Packed Data , (PDS Member and Sequential file) since the 8.5 Version.

Environment

MVS ISPF

Resolution

As Workaround:

Use ISPF command PACK OFF for SYSUT1 PDS member or Sequantial File ,
before File Master Plus COPY in batch ,
and ISPF command PACK ON for SYSUT1O PDS member or Sequantial File
after File Master Plus COPY in batch.

Additional Information

*** CAWA2114W DDNAME SYSUT1+0 points to an ISPF packed file which is not supported
