Issue/Introduction

Error Message :
U01002413 Unknown structure ' U02000033 Could not find routine 'GETFILE'.

SYSTEM COMPLETION CODE=0C1 REASON CODE=00000001

In the Report window of a JOBS object, there is a Directory tab. In case the Report is kept in the file (and is not stored in the Automation Engine database) it’s possible to view the Report by clicking the Open button.

This does not work for z/OS Jobs, because this feature is not available on this platform.

However, nothing happens in the User Interface (UI) when the Open button is selected.  There is no error message nor pop-up window displayed.
The following error message is written to the z/OS agent's log and the agent crashes.

U01002413 Unknown structure ' <?xml ve ', module ' UC11.BUILD.C(MSGCONV2):2750 '.U02000033 Could not find routine 'GETFILE'.

 
In the JES Message Log (JESMSGLG) of the Agent Started Task (STC) or in the System Log (SYSLOG), the following System Completion Code is logged.
