Issue/Introduction

After upgrading our Endevor software to V18.0.11, a processor that has worked for years now abends with the following message on the listlib:

What is causing the problem and how do we fix it?              

Environment

Release:
Component: ENDBAS

Resolution

The problem was caused by the FOOTPRNT=CREATE in the BSTCOPY steps was specified on the INDD DD statement:

The following two DD's the jcl was defined as:

//INDD    DD  DSN=&LOADSRC,DISP=SHR,MONITOR=&MONITOR,
//            FOOTPRNT=CREATE
//OUTDD   DD  DSN=&LOADTGT,DISP=SHR,MONITOR=&MONITOR

 

When the FOOTPRNT=CREATE was moved to the OUTDD, everything worked correctly.

//INDD    DD  DSN=&LOADSRC,DISP=SHR,MONITOR=&MONITOR
//OUTDD   DD  DSN=&LOADTGT,DISP=SHR,MONITOR=&MONITOR,
//            FOOTPRNT=CREATE
