//SMPE EXEC PGM=GIMSMP,REGION=0M                       
//SMPCSI DD DSN=hlq.mlq.PANV146.CSI,DISP=SHR       
//SMPOUT DD SYSOUT=*

To determine the root cause and reason for the GIM20311E  and GIM56704E  error messages, check the attributes of the SMPHOLD dataset. 

If the SMPHOLD dataset is not defined as a PS sequential file, it results in the GIM20311E  and GIM56704E  error messages.
