(Sent from the wee keyboard of a Blackberry.) ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark Henderson [[email protected]] Sent: 03/16/2010 04:32 PM EST To: [email protected] Subject: Return code 24 from ATTACH I have an authorised application that is failing when, after having raised a non-jobstep TCB, it LINKs to IDCAMS and encounters an ALLOCATE command in the input stream. IDCAMS reports the failure as: IDC3933I ATTACH RETURN CODE WAS 24 From the Authorized Assembler Services Reference, the explanation for this error is: "Program error. An attempt to create a new subtask would cause the current task to have a mix of job step and nonjob step subtasks. Processing not completed." Does anybody know why this restriction is in place and, more importantly, have a reasonable suggestion on how to circumvent the problem other than by altering my ATTACH to specify JSTCB=YES or resequencing things such that the LINK to IDCAMS comes first ?
