OM8523 <operand> IS REQUIRED

Edit online

Explanation

You have not declared a required operand and no substitute value assignment is available. The JOB adverb and the AREA operand both lack default assignment values.

System action

When a specific OMCSAA command argument requires a particular operand that you have not supplied, the OMCSAA command processing attempts to provide an assignment value for the missing operand in the following manner:

  1. The inherited value, the last value assigned to that operand when an OMCSAA command was processed successfully, is assigned to the current operand.
  2. When an inheritable assignment value is a null value, the operand’s default value is assigned.
  3. When the result is still a null value, a violation occurs and this message is issued.

User response

Make the following changes:

  1. Provide the missing operand and value assignment.
  2. Remove the command inhibit character (>).
  3. Resubmit the command.
