Endevor error C1BM4100: E031 NO ACTION REQUESTS WERE GENERATED

Issue/Introduction

Endevor batch utility may fail with error message:

C1BM4100: E031 NO ACTION REQUESTS WERE GENERATED

Normally there are other errors flagging all the SCL statements entered in BSTIPT01 DD, but sometimes the message prints alone with no other errors preceding it.

What does it mean?

Resolution

The message means that each and every SCL statement read from BSTIPT01 DD has been flagged with syntax errors so that, once the parsing is complete, there is no action to perform.

Any flagged SCL statements should print ahead of this message with the errors found in each statement.

If the message arises but there are no flagged SCL statements ahead of it, this means that BSTIPT01 DD contains no SCL statements. Either it is empty or contains only comment lines

Additional Information

Endevor support may ask you to run C1BM3000 utility with:

• An empty BSTIPT01 DD
• //EN$TROPT DD SYSOUT=*,SPIN=NO added to the JCL

The purpose of this JCL is to produce an Endevor options report showing the contents of the configuration tables used in the run.

Because of the empty BSTIPT01, this job will issue error message C1BM4100: E031 NO ACTION REQUESTS WERE GENERATED. This result is expected and Endevor will format the options report despite the error.
