Issue/Introduction

Modified a processor with a symbolic &CMPSYSIN.

Had no issues when specifying just the DSName -

  //         CMPSYSIN='iprfx.xx.xxxx.VPS#00.CBL',

Changed  &CMPSYSIN  to  DSName(member) and now get the  C1A0010E  error :

Changed processor code lines:

               //         CMPSYSIN='iprfx.xx.xxx.VPS#00.CBL(xxxxxx)',
                   …

               //SYSIN    DD DSN=&CMPSYSIN,
               //            DISP=SHR

 

C1MSGS1 output:

        C1G0009I      ORIGINAL    : &CMPSYSIN                    
        C1G0009I      SUBSTITUTED : iprfx.xx.xxx.VPS#00.CBL(xxxxxx)

Resolution

This is expected and documented behavior. 

When using a symbolic for a data name, cannot include the member name as part of symbolic. Must use 2 symbolics.

See  Symbolic Parameters:

• When using a symbol for a data set, do not include the member name as part of the symbol or you get an allocation error. Use two symbols, for example:

//SYSLIB DD DSN=&LIB1(&C1ELEMENT)
