Resolution

The info for IECTMS3 with error code '64' shows: 

"An attempt has been made to recreate a data set with DISP=NEW.
You can recreate a data set only if the JCL specifies DISP=OLD or DISP=SHR." 

Also, this type of processing can be controlled without using the CA1 'XITF' user exit by using the new feature "TMODBL00 Double-Open, Recreate, Mod Specification", as documented in: 

TMODBL00 Double-Open, Recreate, Mod, Immutable Specification

This new feature involving the new "TMODBL00" CTAPOPTN member is delivered via CA1 PTF SO12212 in conjunction with CTS PTF SO12211 .
