jobname [procstep] stepname ddname[+ xxx] - RELATIVE GENERATION NUMBER SPECIFIED FOR GDG CONTAINS SYNTAX ERROR

Explanation

In a DD statement, the relative generation number specified for a generation data group (GDG) in the DSNAME parameter contained a syntax error. One of the following guidelines was violated:

  • The first character of a relative generation number must be +, -, or 0.
  • A relative generation number prefaced with a + or - must be 1 or greater.
  • A relative generation number cannot exceed 255.
  • All characters of a relative generation number must be numeric (0-9).
  • A relative generation number must be expressed in 1-3 numeric characters. It may be prefaced by a + or -, for example +101, -002, +4, -09, 000.
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

Correct the relative generation number. Resubmit the job.
