Environment

Dispatch, 11.7, z/OS, 

Cause

Incorrect START command was issued to bring up task.

Resolution

The S052 abend outlined above can occur when the improper startup command (/S CADZSPLx or /S CADZSAPx) is issued to bring up the task(s).

You cannot issue a start/submit command for the CADZSPLx or the CADZSAPx tasks directly.

To bring up the CADZSPLx environment, you must issue the start/submit command for CADDSPLx (Notice the "CADD"). This submits the initialization routine that, when successful, will automatically/dynamically start the CADZSPLx related task(s).

So, to resolve this abend, issue the correct /S CADDSPLx command.
