MASK PARAMETER NOT ALLOWED FOR MORE THAN ONE ENTRY-NAME TO BE SPECIFIED IN ONE DELETE COMMAND

Explanation

When the MASK keyword is present in the DELETE command, only one entry-name is allowed to be specified.

System action

The DELETE command failed to proceed. A return code of 8 was issued.

System programmer response

If the error recurs and the program is not in error, look at the messages in the job log for more information. Search problem reporting data bases for a fix for the problem. If no fix exists, contact the IBM® Support Center. Provide the JCL and the SYSOUT output for the job.

Programmer response

You might perform one of the following procedures:
  • Check the entry-names list. If there are no masking entry-names in the list, remove the MASK keyword in the DELETE command, and reissue the command.
  • Split the DELETE command to multiple DELETE commands, and issue with one masking entry-name at a time.
