In the JCL manual z/OS V1.6, it states:
Do not code ABSTR for SMS-managed data sets
SPACE=(ABSTR,(...)). When the absolute track technique is used, the
designated tracks must make up a whole number of cylinders
So, my question is - Have you made sure this file name is no longer SMS
managed? And have you confirmed that 20 DIR Blks is correct for this
dataset? Did you allocate a space size that is equal to WHOLE Cylinders
(15, 30, 90, etc... is a cylinder number in tracks) - 100 does not look to
be a true cylinder size.
A JCL error like this usually will detail the last good thing it scanned
just before the error.
