CNLC157E   INVALID DBCS STRING FOUND IN MESSAGE, key, recnum, member, RECORD NOT PROCESSED

Explanation

The message compiler was invoked to build a run-time message file from an install message file. A message skeleton record has an incorrect double-byte character set (DBCS) character string.

A valid DBCS string contains:
  • No ‘SO’ or ‘SI’ character strings
  • An even number of bytes
  • One or more valid DBCS characters
In the message text:
key
The key of the erroneous message.
recnum
The record number at which the error is found in a member of the install message file, which is a partitioned data set (PDS).
member
The member of the PDS.

System action

The message compiler does not process the message skeleton record.

System programmer response

See z/OS MVS Programming: Assembler Services Guidefor information about the format of install message files. Correct the message to contain only valid DBCS character strings. Compile the install message file again.
