IEF741I
jobname [procstep] stepname ddname[+ xxx] - PROTECT REQUEST FAILED - INVALID DATA SET/VOLUME SPECIFICATION

Explanation

The dynamic allocation protection key was specified or the PROTECT keyword was coded on the DD statement. The request did not meet the requirements as follows:

  • If PROTECT was specified for a DASD data set, the data set must be a new, non-temporary data set. That is, the status of the data set is ‘NEW’ or ‘MOD’ treated as ‘NEW’. Normal and abnormal dispositions if specified are other then DELETE, and the data set has a non-temporary data set name.
  • If PROTECT was specified for a tape volume, the tape label specification must be SL, AL, SUL, AUL, or NSL. Both the file sequence count and volume sequence count must be set to one (except for NSL), or must default to one, and the tape volume must have a volume use attribute of PRIVATE. If the file sequence count or the volume sequence count is greater than one, the RACF® TAPEDSN option must be active for successful processing.
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 data set or volume description on the DD statement. Resubmit the job.
