119: UNABLE TO OPEN DDNAME 'xxxxxxxx'; REPORT IS TERMINATED

Explanation

The DFH$MOLS program was unable to open the data set specified on the DD statement used for the EXPAND control statement. 'xxxxxxxx' is either SYSUT2, which is the default, or the ddname specified by the DDNAME= parameter on the EXPAND control statement. Ensure that the JCL for the job was correct.

A sample set of JCL to execute the DFH$MOLS sample program is contained in Figure 1.
