IEC301A   S text

Explanation

text is:
  • JOB jjj, STEP sss, text2 [,CONC nnn]
text2 is one of the following:
  • DDNAME ddname
  • DSNAME dsname

The data set referred to in the message text is data set password protected and a password is required before the data set can be accessed. The "S" refers to security.

If the message is JOB jjj, STEP sss, DDNAME ddname [,CONC nnn], a program is attempting to open the data set password protected data set defined in the DD statement whose data definition name is ddname. The data set is being opened by the step of the job indicated. If the data set is part of a concatenation, CONC nnn appears in the message text to identify the concatenation number of the data set in question. If the data set is first in a concatenation, the CONC and number do not appear. If the data set is second in a concatenation, CONC 2 is displayed.

If the message is DSNAME dsname, a program is attempting to scratch or rename the data set password protected data set.

In the message text:
jjj
The job name.
sss
The step name.
ddname
The specified DD name, if present in the message.
dsname
The specified data set name, if present in the message.
nnn
The concatenation number of the data set specified.

Operator response

If the indicated open, scratch, or rename function is authorized, enter REPLY xx,yyyyyyyy, where yyyyyyyy is the programmer supplied password for the data set referred to in the message text. The password can have a maximum of eight characters. For a data set that is part of a concatenation, the password entered must be the one supplied for the concatenation number. If the indicated function is not authorized or if no password was supplied, cancel the job by entering REPLY xx, zzzzzzzz twice, where zzzzzzzz is any zero- to eight-character dummy password. This will result in message IEC150I 913-0C being issued.

If the program is attempting to scratch, catalog, or rename the data set, a WRITE password must be supplied.
