Issue/Introduction

During execution of a generate processor, JESMSGLG shows error message

IEC141I 013-18,IGG0191B,<jobname>,<stepname>,<ddname>,<unit>,<volser>,<dataset>(<member>)

The processor fails with messages

C1X0011S  STEP ASM PROGRAM ASMA90 ABENDED, CODE=S013
C1G0129E  STEP ASM RC (S013) EXCEEDS THE MAX RC (0004) FOR THE PROCESSOR STEP

Resolution

IEC141I 013-18 means that a DD statement specifies a dataset name with a member name in the DSN parameter. The dataset can be found but the specified member is not found in the dataset

You need to examine the DD statement for the ddname specified in message IEC141I  in the processor step named in message C1G0129E and maybe also the rest of the processor to determine why the member is not there

• Is the member to be created in a previous step in the same processor? If so, did the step run ok?
• Is the member expected to be already present in the library?
• Maybe a previous process intended to create the member failed or did not run for whatever reason?
• Is the library and member name correct?
• Are there symbols involved in the DSN and member name? If so, are they resolving correctly?

If the issue is caused by a processor symbol, then it may be enough to adjust the override for that symbol in the definition of the processor group

If the processor needs to be adjusted, you need to exercise caution as the change may affect other processor groups that run the same processor.
