Why are you saying SHR? That indicates that the data set already exists.
If this was in JCL, NEW would be the default if you don't say NEW, OLD, or SHR.
But if you say SHR the data set must already exist. I don't know if TSO will
similarly default to NEW if you omit SHR, but it seems correct for it to
complain if you say SHR when the data set does not exist.
