jobname [procstep] stepname ddname[+ xxx] - VOLUME SEQUENCE NUMBER EXCEEDS NUMBER OF VOLUME SERIALS

Explanation

The volume sequence count specified in a DD statement is greater than the number of volume serial numbers specified. One of the following has occurred:

  • The DD statement specifies volume serial numbers in the VOL parameter. The sequence count exceeds the number of volume serials.
  • The DD statement refers back to or is receiving a passed data set from another DD statement, which specifies fewer volume serials than the sequence count in the referring DD statement.
  • The DD statement refers to a cataloged data set. The number of volume serials for the cataloged data set is less than the volume sequence count.
In the message text:
jobname
The name of the job.
procstep
The name of the step in the procedure.
stepname
The name of the job step.
ddname
The name of the DD statement.
+ xxx
The relative position of a data set within a concatenation of data sets, including all data sets implicitly concatenated (through GDG ALL or OPTCD=B requests). See z/OS MVS JCL User's Guide for more information on GDG ALL or OPTCD=B requests when used within a set of concatenated data sets. The first data set of a concatenation would be +000, but the value +000 is never shown.

System action

The system ends the job.

Programmer response

Check to make sure that the volume sequence count is equal to or less than the number of volume serials specified. Correct the DD statements.
