Resolution

The error you encountered when apply checking the Symdump batch r 11 incremental five fixes is 

ALLOCATION FAILED FOR SMP00018 BECAUSE THERE IS NO DDDEF ENTRY FOR SCCNOBJ IN TARGET ZONE ZNCAIT0.

..

The incremental five fixes have a HOLD action to define a DD DEF for the SCCNOBJ dataset.

APAR #: SO04585

Below is sample JCL on the HOLD action

//DDDEFUPD EXEC PGM=GIMSMP,REGION=0M
//SMPCSI DD DISP=SHR,DSN=globalhlq
//SMPCNTL DD *
SET BOUNDARY(CAIT0).
UCLIN .
ADD DDDEF ( SCCNOBJ )
DATASET ( CBC.SCCNOBJ ) SHR .
ENDUCL.

The DATASET ( CBC.SCCNOBJ ) value is usually the DEFAULT name CBC.SCCNOBJ that is install with Z/OS.
