In addition to the required data sets described in Binder DD statements, the linkage editor uses another data set to hold data records during processing. The linkage editor places intermediate data in this data set when storage allocated for input data or certain forms of out-of-sequence text is exhausted.

A SYSUT1 DD statement is required to describe this data set. It must be a sequential data set assigned to a single direct access storage device. Space must be allocated for this data set, but the data set characteristics are supplied by the linkage editor.

Message IEW0294 will be issued if you specify more than one volume.
