IEF218I
jobname [procstep] stepname ddname[+ xxx] - PATTERN DSCB RECORD NOT FOUND IN VTOC

Explanation

In a DD statement, the data set name in the DSNAME parameter specified either:

  • A data set that did not exist in the specified volumes.
  • A model data set control block (DSCB) did not exist on the catalog volume for a generation data group (GDG) request.
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 the volume table of contents (VTOC) for the DSCB specified in the DSNAME parameter on the volume pointed to by the catalog. If the request is for a generation data group member, check the catalog volume VTOC for a DSCB for the GDG group. Correct the error and rerun the job.
