Resolution

The incorrect DSNAMExx was the cause for this error. After going back and starting the post installation process over from scratch, site found that there
were multiple parmlib(s) setup with various members.  Tracked the correct DSNAMExx member and successfully built the jobs for the upgrade.
Pointing to the correct DSNAMExx member resolved the problem.
