Issue/Introduction

When calling the File Master for MVS startup REXX procedure, CAWAFM from the CDBISAMP library, and the application terminates with:
"ISPF Allocation Error" and "Link to 'CAWKNQID' failed ABEND code x'00000806'" please check the syntax of the REXX library concatenations.

Resolution

The following is the correct syntax in order to concatenate LE libraries:

 

...                                                         
   "ALLOC F(LLIBI) DA('"INSTPRE".CDBJLOAD',                
                       'CEE.SCEELPA',                      
                       'CEE.SCEERUN') SHR REUSE"           
...

 

The Abend could e.g. occur when a plus sign was used instead of comma.

 

   "ALLOC F(LLIBI) DA('"INSTPRE".CDBJLOAD' +               
                       'CEE.SCEELPA',                      
                       'CEE.SCEERUN') SHR REUSE"

 

"TSO ISRDDN" can be used in order to check the current allocations. It should display the expected libraries. E.g.

 

...                                                         
TSU001   SHR,KEEP   >    LLIBI    HLQ.FMIMS85.MSM.CDBJLOAD
MVR21A   SHR,KEEP   >             CEE.SCEELPA               
MVR21A   SHR,KEEP   >             CEE.SCEERUN
