DFS1711I SC=16 DISP=SHR INVALID FOR DDNAME=REFOUT. CONTINUING WITH SYNTAX CHECK ONLY

Explanation

IMS REFERAL was to be altered, but either DISP=SHR or DD DUMMY was specified or the DD statement for REFOUT was missing.

System action

The MFS Utility Preprocessor phase continues input scan for syntax errors. No descriptions are stored in the IMS REFERAL library. At the end of the input scan, the preprocessor returns to z/OS®.

Programmer response

Correct the DD statement in error, and resubmit the job.
