IEF694I
DDNAME REFERENCE TO DD CONCATENATION REFERS ONLY TO FIRST DD

Explanation

THE JCL DDNAME keyword has been used to refer to a DD concatenation. When the object of a DDNAME reference is a concatenation of multiple DDs, only the first DD in the concatenation is actually referenced.

System action

The system issues message IEF677I and continues processing the job. The first DD in the referenced concatenation is associated with the referencing DD. The remaining (unlabeled) DDs in the referenced concatenation are concatenated to the labeled DD immediately preceding the concatenation.

User response

If the DDNAME reference was intended to refer to the entire concatenation, move the concatenated DDs to follow the referencing DD rather than the referenced DD. This will ensure that the concatenation is correctly defined to the system.
