IEF261I
jobname [procstep] stepname ddname[+ xxx] - NO PRIME AREA REQUEST FOR ISAM DATA SET

Explanation

None of the DD statements defining an indexed sequential data set specify DSNAME=name(PRIME). 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

The operating system no longer supports the creation or use of indexed sequential data sets. See z/OS DFSMS Using Data Sets for information about converting programs and data sets to avoid using ISAM.
