Issue/Introduction

Job fails due to CMT entry being invalid and abends with USER=0020.   Messages U11-042 CANNOT RESTART - CMT ENTRY INVALID and U11-022 VERIF CODE = 32 occurs for the restarted job.  

Resolution

The  VERIF CODE = 32 in the U11-022 indicates that there was a change associated with a DD statement.    The error occurs because significant JCL changes are not allowed on restarts. In the instance of GDGs certain changes can be made on a restart if the BYPGDG option is specified.   Specify BYPGDG=YES in order for a restart to be able to run successfully if there is a need to make a significant change associated with GDG datasets.   The see the changes that are allow on restarts, please refer to Effect of JCL Changes on U11RMS
