I am trying to change a program from using IKJEFT01 in a started task to
IRXJCL.
The REXX statement in TSO:
"ALLOC FI(OUT) DS('WORK.TAPE') NEW KEEP UNIT(TAPE) REUSE"
works fine. The statement when converted to BPXWDYN:
CALL BPXWDYN("ALLOC DD(OUT) DA('WORK.TAPE') NEW KEEP UNIT(TAPE)
REUSE")
Gives me a Return Code 20 with the following message:
IKJ56221I DATA SET WORK.TAPE NOT ALLOCATED, VOLUME NOT AVAILABLE+
IKJ56221I VOLUME NECESSARY TO SATISFY YOUR REQUEST NOT ON
SYSTEM, AND CANNOT BE MOUNTED
While I mentioned running this as a started task, it is failing in batch with
my
USERID.
I am at a loss as to:
a) What is the difference between the two types of allocation. I wouldn't
expect any difference, but obviously there is.
b) What the heck is the IKJ56221I trying to tell me. The M&C is even less
clear than the message.
c) How can I fix this?
Is there anybody with more BPXWDYN than I that can shed some light on this?
Thanks,
Neal
