IEB544E
ASSOCIATED DATA SET LIMIT EXCEEDED READING JOB jjj FROM ddd

Explanation

While reading the job from the device indicated, the diskette reader encountered a DD * or DD DATA statement with the DSID keyword, and the limit of associated data sets per job stream has already been reached, or more than 1,000 associated data set requests have been detected in the current job.

In the message text:
jjj
The job name.
ddd
The device indicated.

System action

The diskette reader stops processing the JCL input stream and beings reading the required associated data sets. When associated data set processing is complete the diskette reader ends processing. The job stream beginning with the job is flushed from the system and must be resubmitted.

Operator response

In order to have the diskette reader process the remaining jobs in the input stream after associated data set processing is complete, do one of the following:
  • If the device is card reader, place the rest of the job stream, beginning with the job, back into input device. Initiate another diskette reader task to process the remaining jobs.
  • If the device is not a card reader, initiate another diskette reader to the same input data set, specifying the job as the starting point for the reader.

Programmer response

The maximum number of associated data sets per job stream can be increased, if necessary, by changing the PARM specified on the EXEC statement for the diskette reader.
