Explanation

An invalid keyword was found. In the message text, the variables and their meanings are:
xxxxxxxx
Parameter keyword (First 8 characters)
yyyyyyyy
Parameter value (First 8 characters)

IMS execution parameters can be specified with JCL or with the DFSPBxxx and DFSDCxxx members. Message DFS1921I results when invalid keywords are in the parameters specified with DFSPBxxx, DFSDCxxx, or JCL. For example, invalid keywords might be misspelled or might be invalid for the type of IMS control region being started.

The DFSPBxxx member might use all 80 columns of the record. If you have parameters names starting in column 1, be sure that you do not have sequence numbers in columns 73 through 80.
