FORMAT ERROR text

Explanation

 

text is one of the following:

  • IN THE parameter FIELD
  • ON THE cntr STATEMENT
  • IN THE parameter1 SUBPARAMETER OF THE parameter2 FIELD

The system detected an error in a parameter in a JCL statement. Examples of errors detected are:

  • Too many or too few specified levels of qualification
  • An operand missing in a COND parameter
  • The EVEN and ONLY subparameters were both specified in the COND parameter of the EXEC statement
In the message text:
IN THE parameter FIELD
The keyword must be followed by an equal sign to be considered correctly specified.
In the message text:
parameter
The last correctly specified keyword parameter preceding the error.
ON THE cntr STATEMENT
The error was detected before any keyword parameters were processed. For example, an error was detected in the name field of a statement.
In the message text:
cntr
The statement on which the error occurred.
IN THE parameter1 SUBPARAMETER OF THE parameter2 FIELD
The error was detected in a subparameter. For example, SER is a minor keyword parameter that appears only when associated with major keyword parameter VOLUME.
In the message text:
parameter1
The minor keyword parameter associated with a major keyword parameter.
parameter2
The major keyword parameter.

System action

The system ends the job and 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

Check that the parameters are specified according to the format that is documented in the z/OS MVS JCL Reference.
