User response

Make sure that a valid DBD or RECON data set exists for the named database.

If the processing database is an IMS catalog database that is registered in the RECON data set, specify Y for the 14th parameter on the EXEC statement of the HD Pointer job step. For example:
//HDPCPRO EXEC PGM=DFSRRC00,
//        PARM=(ULU,FABPMAIN,,,,,,,,,,,,Y,N)
If the processing database is an IMS catalog database that is not registered in the RECON data set, specify the library that contains the Catalog Definition exit routine (DFS3CDX0), which the unregistered IMS catalog database names are defined in, to the STEPLIB DD statement, or specify DFSDF=xxx for the 27th parameter on the EXEC statement of the HD Pointer job step. DFSDF specifies the 3-character suffix xxx of the DFSDFxxx member that specifies the unregistered IMS catalog database names. For example:
//HDPCPRO EXEC PGM=DFSRRC00,
//        PARM=(ULU,FABPMAIN,DFSCD000,,,,,,,,,,,N,N,   
//        ,,,,,,,,,,,'DFSDF=xxx')

Correct the error and rerun the job.
