IEE122I START COMMAND JCL ERROR

Explanation

A START command invoked a cataloged procedure or job. The system detected one of the following error conditions:

  • The member specified in the START command does not exist.
  • The cataloged procedure contains incorrect JCL statements.
  • The job contains incorrect JCL statements.

System action

The system rejects the command.

Operator response

Contact the system programmer. When the system programmer directs, enter the command again.

System programmer response

Do the following:

  1. Look in the system output (SYSOUT) for messages associated with this command. These messages describe any errors found in the source JCL or in the overriding JCL statements generated from the START command. If the MSGCLASS for Started Tasks is a DUMMY class, then it may be necessary to change it temporarily to a “real” message class in order to get the SYSOUT for the failing START command. This can be accomplished in either of two ways:
    • Add the desired MSGCLASS to the START command. For example:
      • S procedurename,MSGCLASS=A
    • Change the MSGCLASS for all STCs via a $TJOBCLASS command and then change the MSGCLASS back to what it was. For example:
      • $TJOBCLASS(STC),MSGCLASS=A
      • Run the failing started task
      • $TJOBCLASS(STC),MSGCLASS=Z
    Once the failing JCL statements are identified, correct those JCL statements in the procedure or job. Ask the operator to enter the command again.
  2. If the command was entered correctly, run the IEBPTPCH utility to print the cataloged procedure or job that was to be invoked by the START command. Check for, and correct, any incorrect JCL statements in the procedure or job. After making corrections, ask the operator to enter the command again.
  3. If the command continues to fail, search problem reporting data bases for a fix for the problem. If no fix exists, contact the IBM® Support Center.
