jobname [procstep] stepname ddname[+ xxx] - GDG DEFINITION NOT VALID - VSAM DATA SET NOT SUPPORTED

Explanation

In a DD statement, a new generation data set was defined to be a VSAM data set, which is not valid. A VSAM data set can be explicitly indicated by the RECORG= keyword, or implicitly defined by a DCB= reference to an existing VSAM data set or by a DCB= backward reference to a prior DD that identifies a VSAM data set. 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 about 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 DD to either be a VSAM data set that is not a member of a generation data group, or a generation data set that is not a VSAM data set.
