Check your JCL regarding these DD cards , SYSUT1 to SYSUT4 and ensure that the UNIT=  is referring to a valid UNIT in your environment such as UNIT=SYSDA instead of DISKUNIT .

Looks like it tried to allocate the dataset and the UNIT DISKUNIT was invalid. It is our standard one. 

Check your DDDEF.........for SYSUT1 thru 4 and make sure the UNIT is using a valid UNIT for your site. DISKUNIT is the standard one that is used and would require alteration to the valid one. 

SYSUT1    UNIT            = DISKUNIT
