With as little information as you've provided, one can only guess. RC=20
is a sever error. What does the code look like? Could you have a typo
somewhere in the DDName. Any messages in the syslog or joblog? Are
you running this interactively or in batch? Are you running from TSO
or from an OMVS shell if interactively?
