PDTDSCPY job failed with return code of 8 without any error message. what's the problem?
There could be many reasons for this kind of behavior but for this case the failing job was missing the CDBALOAD in the job steplib as seen below:
FAILED STEPLIB
//STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DSN.D2J0.DSNLOAD
*
GOOD STEPLIB
//STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DSN.DPG4.DSNLOAD
// DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DSN.CATOOLS.CDBALOAD
