PERMANENT INPUT ERROR

Explanation

A permanent input/output error was detected while reading the SYSUT1 data set.

For example, two situations that cause this message to appear are:
  • fixed records with an LRECL or BLKSIZE of zero; or
  • variable records with incorrect block or record descriptor words.

System action

The program is ended. The return code is 12.

System programmer response

If the error recurs and the program is not in error, look at the messages in the job log for more information. Search problem reporting data bases for a fix for the problem. If no fix exists, contact the IBM® Support Center. Provide the JCL and all printed output and output data sets related to the problem.

Programmer response

Make sure that the DCB values are correct for the data set being processed.
