IEF014I
jobname [procstep] stepname ddname [+XXX] MAXIMUM GENERATED DDNAMES LIMIT REACHED

Explanation

On a request to generate a DDNAME for an allocation, the system detected that the step was at its maximum allowable limit of 32,767 for system-generated ddnames.

In the message text:
jobname
The name of the job that made the request.
procstep
The name of the step in the procedure.
stepname
The name of the step.
ddname
The name of the DD.
+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 allocation request is failed.

Operator response

Contact your system programmer.

System programmer response

  • If the failure occurs in a DB2® environment, contact DB2 support for a possible workaround.
  • If not in a DB2 environment, either reduce the number of concurrent system-generated DDNAME allocations or avoid using system-generated ddnames.
