Issue/Introduction

IEFC601I INVALID JCL STATEMENT occurs for proc with  instream data if CA 11's UJV exit is installed.
The work around to avoid this error is to add  a step before the first use of a proc with instream data

Environment

Release : 11.0

Component : CA-11

Resolution

If the optional CA 11 UJV exit is installed, error message IEFC601I INVALID JCL STATEMENT occurs for a proc with the instream data.  The work around to avoid the JCL error is to add  a step (such as an IEFBR14 step) before the first use of a proc with instream data . IBM code counts the instream datasets correctly and the JCL error no longer occurs.
   
See example below:


//TESTJOB1 JOB   (),CLASS=0,MSGCLASS=X,NOTIFY=&SYSUID,          
//         MSGLEVEL=(1,1),TIME=1440,REGION=0M                   
//HELLO     PROC                                                
//STEPA        EXEC  PGM=IEBGENER                                  
//SYSIN        DD    DUMMY                                         
//SYSPRINT     DD    SYSOUT=A                                      
//SYSUT2       DD    SYSOUT=A                                      
//SYSUT1       DD    *
HELLO WORLD                                                     
/*                                     
//          PEND   
//STEP1  EXEC PGM=IEFBR14                <- Add this step 
//BATCH  EXEC HELLO
