IDC2053I   STEP CONTAINS JOBCAT/STEPCAT, BUT JOBCAT/STEPCAT SUPPORT IS DISABLED

Explanation

A step that referenced a data set contains one of the following:
  • a JOBCAT DD statement
  • a STEPCAT DD statement
  • both a JOBCAT and a STEPCAT DD statement
but the use of JOBCAT and STEPCAT is disabled by the installation

System action

The indicated command is terminated.

Programmer response

Depending on the DD statements present in the step, take one of the following corrective actions:
  • Remove the JOBCAT DD statement if there is no need for it.
  • Remove the STEPCAT DD statement if there is no need for it.
  • Ensure that all referenced catalogs are connected to the system master catalog with an appropriate alias for the data set being referenced and allow the data set to be found through a standard search.
If the actions above cannot be performed, the use of JOBCAT and STEPCAT support can be enabled by the installation through the operator command MODIFY CATALOG,ENABLE(JOBSTEPCAT). It is not recommended this facility be enabled except when absolutely needed.
