Job Statement Considerations

Certain specifications in the DD statements of a job may make it impossible to stack data sets accessed or created by the job. The table shown below lists each rejection reason code and a description of the problem it indicates.

Table 14 Job Statement Rejection Reason Code

Reason Code

Description

1

The VOL=REF=DSNAME statement was included in the JCL. Control-M/Tape ignores references to data set names that appear earlier in the JCL.

2

A reference to a step name or procedure step name was specified in the JCL (for example, VOL=REF=*). Control-M/Tape ignores references to data set names that appeared earlier in the JCL.

3

The current DD statement is a NOSTACK DD statement. Control-M/Tape interprets this DD statement as an instruction not to stack data sets created by this job.

4

A NOSTACK DD statement that is not the current DD statement was specified in the relevant step in the JCL.

6

A specific volser was specified as a destination for the current data set. Control-M/Tape honors the user’s request for the specific tape and does not stack this data set.

7

The VOL parameter in the current DD statement indicates that the data set can be written to more than one volume.

Example

VOL=(,,,2)

where 2 is the maximum number of volumes

Multi-volume data sets are not stacked.

Note: You can bypass this reject reason by setting the STKVCBP parameter in the CTDPARM member to Y. For more information, see the INCONTROL for z/OS Installation Guide.

9

The DISP=NEW statement was not included in the JCL. There is no need for Control-M/Tape to stack the data set because no new data set was created.

A

The DISP=(NEW,CATLG) statement was not included in the JCL, and Y was not specified for the STKKEEP Control-M/Tape installation parameter.

B

A non-standard label (for example, BLP or NL) was specified for the current data set. Control-M/Tape stacks only data sets for which a standard label is specified.

C

The specified file sequence number is greater than 1. Either a file sequence number of 1, or no file sequence number, should be specified for data sets to be stacked.

D

EXPDT = 98000 is specified for the current data set (that is, the volume is an external volume). Control-M/Tape does not stack these data sets.
