Issue/Introduction

When I try to RECEIVE the ++ASSIGN for the HOLDDATA into my global zone prior to applying maintenance, it fails with the following error messages: 

GIM36306E ** THE ++ASSIGN MCS IS OUT OF SEQUENCE 
GIM34701E ** SMP/E EXPECTED TO FIND MCS. FOUND INLINE DATA INSTEAD. 
GIM24801W NO SYSMODS SATISFIED THE OPERANDS SPECIFIED ON THE RECEIVE COMMAND... 

Below is an example of the JCL I am using:

Environment

Release:
Component: IDMS

Resolution

Examine your //SMPPTFIN DD concatenation and each dataset included in the concatenation looking for what the message describes. 

Each ++ASSIGN can only be followed by another ++ASSIGN, ++FUNCTION, ++PTF, ++APAR, or ++USERMOD if none of these then it should be the end of file.
