Environment

Release : 12.0

Component : XCOM Data Transport for z/OS

Cause

There are several factors contributing to the message in this case:

1. The TSU REGION size and/or the number of sessions.

2. There is a limitation in our XCOMSNRC clist. The limitation we seem to be running into is an IBM limitation regarding the allowed size of a variable when looping thru> 200 members.

Resolution

1. You can transfers all members of a PDS or PDS/E by specifying the wild card on the Local File (e.g. Local File : 'XCOM.PDS(*)') on the ISPF panel or LFILE=XCOM.PDS(*) in the SYSIN01 of a batch job. 

2. Increase the TSU Region size to allow for more members to be selected in this specific case, but be aware of the limitation mentioned above.
