0x0057003A (5701690) Syntax error detected in the keyword-name in COMMENT ON information.

Explanation

The VSAM connector detected a syntax error in the information in the COMMENT ON statement that has been provided for a VIEW that is used to change the name of the data set, and optionally, file control table (FCT) name. The message identifies the keyword that is in error.

The syntax for the COMMENT ON statement when CICS is not required is: COMMENT ON view-name IS ‘DSN: data-set-name’;

Where the data-set-name is one to forty-four characters long and there is a single space between the DSN: keyword and the data set name.

If the file is under CICS control, then the syntax is: COMMENT ON view-name IS ‘DSN: data-set-name FCT: FCT-name’;

Where the data-set-name is one to forty-four characters long, the FCT-name is one to eight characters log and there is a single space between each parameter value and keyword.
