Missing MABATCH9 member in the 'sharedprefix.PARMS' dataset
The SAS LOG contains the following:
SAS PROC PDSCOPY VERSION 9.40
INPUT DSNAME=xxxx.xxx.xxxx.PARMS VOL=SER=xxxxx
OUTPUT DSNAME=xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.TEMPPARM VOL=SER=xxxx
MEMBER TRACKS SIZE
ALIAS
ICFBTCH9 0.2 7360
ICFDMS9 0.2 7520
MATSO9 0.2 7440
MQRBTCH9 0.1 5200
WARNING: no members found to match MABATCH9
The MABATCH9 parms member was copied over from another MICS complex and then the job was resubmitted and completed successfully.
Note about MABATCH/MABATCH9.
It is recommended that a local modification is made to the MICS-shipped SAS CONFIG member for V9 'sp.MICS.PARMS(MABATCH9)' instead of directly modifying the MABATCH member. Then submit the job in 'sharedprefix.CNTL(MICSLS1). Directly updating the MABATCH member in 'sp.MICS.PARMS' is not recommended as any future submissions of MICSLS1 will overwrite any user modifications made to the MABATCH member.
