Issue/Introduction

The user reports that the processor action fails, but the execution log shows only that BSTCOPY failed with RC 16 without any supporting diagnostic messages from the BSTCOPY utility.

C1X0012I  STEP CPYLOD1 INVOKING PROGRAM BSTCOPY            
C1X0010I  STEP CPYLOD1 PROGRAM BSTCOPY COMPLETED, RC=0016  
C1G0129E  STEP CPYLOD1 RC (0016) EXCEEDS THE MAX RC (0000)

The failing processor step is:

Environment

Release : 18.0 18.1 19.0 (all releases)

Component : Endevor Software Change Manager

Cause

The BSTCOPY utility execution messages are not captured because the //SYSPRINT DD statement is missing from the processor step definition.

Resolution

Add a //SYSPRINT DD statement to the BSTCOPY processor steps and the BSTCOPY messages will be written out in the processor execution output.

//CPYLOD1  EXEC PGM=BSTCOPY,MAXRC=0                                   
//FCOPYOFF DD  DUMMY                    * TURN OFF PDSMAN FASTCOPY
