  What is the problem? (Brief)
  
  RCCE-040
  A dataset allocation error occurred on MVS.
  DDName = 'SRCPL#'
  return code = '4'
  error code = '5896'
  info code = '2'
  Determine the cause of the error by matching the
  error codes with the documented svc99 codes in the
  'MVS System Programming Library: System Macros and
  and Facilities Volume 1'.
  The dataset attributes for the DDName specified
  in the MVS build script may have contributed to the
  problem.
  
  RCCI-011 Probable cause:
       Specified dataset could not be located.
