Issue/Introduction

Description

IEC020I 001-4,TELE010A,TELE010A,VBLDOPTN,747D,VTAM04,
IEC020I prefix.VBLDOPTN
IEC020I DCB EROPT=ABE OR AN INVALID CODE, AND/OR NO SYNAD EXIT SPECIFIED

This can be followed by S0C4-04 in module VLOGER.

Solution

1. Verify that the VBLDOPTN DD statement is referring to the VBLDOPTN data set.

For example:

IEC020I 001-4,TELE010A,TELE010A,VBLDOPTN,747D,VTAM04,
IEC020I prefix.VOPTIONS                     <<<NOTE: This is pointing to VOPTIONS instead of prefix.VBLDOPTN
IEC020I DCB EROPT=ABE OR AN INVALID CODE, AND/OR NO SYNAD EXIT SPECIFIED

• Verify that your VBLDOPTN data set (VBLDOPTN DD statement) is defined with DSORG=PS.
