Resolution

The problem is caused by a special combination. In this example, the block size read by CONPARMX of the PDS is 400 and there are 5 records in the NIX455GG member:
Records 1-3 are comments (they start with "*")
Record 4 is NDAPARM = 'EL-SALT'
Record 5 is all spaces.

If a record in a PARMS member contains nothing but spaces AND it's the last record in a block, then this S0C4 happens.

You need to delete the 5th "all spaces" record or change it to start with an asterisk so that it becomes a comment record.
