Error description

  • The DB2 Administration Tool for z/OS Change Management job
    fails with a JCL error:
    IEFC618I OPERAND FIELD DOES NOT TERMINATE IN COMMA OR BLANK
    IEFC622I UNBALANCED PARENTHESES ON THE EXEC STATEMENT
    IEFC621I EXPECTED CONTINUATION NOT RECEIVED
    as the options selected by the user on panel GOC5 "Generate
    Compare Jobs", panel GOC5RO "Specify Compare Reporting Options"
    and panel ADB2CMRO "Change Management Prompt" results in a PARM
    line in the JCL which ends in column 72:
    //T01COMP  EXEC PGM=GOC2CMP,PARM=('/;REPCHG,REPIGSYS,REPSUM',
    'REPCOUNT,REPCONV,ALTPART,REORGM,RUNID(NOLT03),CMDELTA,DACVE,')
    

Local fix

  • Amend the PARM line to span additional lines.
