550: MKD failed. Error locating dcbdsn data set dcbdsn_name.

Explanation

The MKD command was issued to create a new PDS. The SITE DCBDSN was in effect specifying that all new data sets be created with the same characteristics as the data set dcbdsn_name. However, an error occurred when the server issued the LOCATE macro to locate the model data set dcbdsn_name. The server was unable to determine the characteristics of the model data set dcbdsn_name and therefore could not allocate the new data set.

System action

The MKD command is rejected. Control is returned to the client connection for further command processing.

User response

Use the SITE command to either specify a different DCBDSN data set, or to specify the data set characteristics without using the DCBDSN model data set parameter. After changing the appropriate SITE parameters, reissue the MKD command.

System programmer response

None.
