Issue/Introduction

During the upgrade of the Datacom Server on the mainframe to the latest version of 15.1, the job/task was initiated using the same parameters previously configured for Datacom Server. Upon execution, the following error messages were generated:

DSV00038I-Input parameters received:                                            
     SERVERNAME=server-name-here                                              00220000
DSV00003E-Invalid SERVERNAME on control statement. Job ended.      

 

Environment

Component: Datacom Server

Cause

The problem is that the member containing the JCL to start this server region has been edited with an Interactive System Productivity Facility (ISPF) profile using NUMBER ON STD. This generated line numbers on columns from 73 to 80, which can be seen in the JESJCL DDname. In the following line, belonging to the error reported, we highlighted that number:

     SERVERNAME=server-name-here                                              00220000

 

Resolution

Issue an UNNUM command while editing the JCL member and then saving it to remove those numbers. Then submit the job again.

1. Edit the JCL member containing the Datacom Server JCL or the SYSIN cards.
2. Issue the ISPF command UNNUM.
3. Save the member.
4. Restart the Datacom Server task.
