IEF617I

Explanation
The system found that the first DD statement following
an EXEC statement did not contain a DDNAME in its name field; that
is, column 3 of the DD statement was blank. Possibly, the first statement
for a concatenation of data sets was omitted.

System action
The system ends the job. The system scans the
remaining job control statements for syntax errors. The system issues
messages about the job to the job log.

System programmer response
Look at the messages in the job log.
 If the JOB statement did not specify MSGLEVEL=(1,1), specify it and
run the job again.  If the problem persists, search problem reporting
data bases for a fix for the problem. If no fix exists, contact the IBM® Support
Center.  Provide the SYSOUT output for the job.

Programmer response
Either put a DDNAME in the name field of
the DD statement or place it among other DD statements so that a proper
concatenation is defined. Submit the job again.
