Error description

  • An unload fails after having unduly issued the INZC018E
    UNBALANCED QUOTE message about a valid name-expression
    specified by the DSN suboption of a TEMPLATE statement.
    
    This occurs if the name-expression in question contains a
    qualifier-expression including a variable part (&variable with
    or without a "(start, length)" specification) directly followed
    by a character-expression starting with a digit (e.g.
    "MYQUAL.&YE.3Q").
    

Local fix

  • If applicable, remove the character-expression starting with a
    digit right after the variable part or replace it by a string
    that does not start with a digit (e.g. specify "MYQUAL.&YE.Q3"
    instead of "MYQUAL.&YE.3Q").
