APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • JCL Editor in IBM DEVELOPER FOR Z SYSTEMS (IDz) v14.1.7 shows
the unexpected error:
â ˜DSNAME expected instead of this entryâ ™ when parsing a JCL
like:

//MODUS SET MODUS='B64D'
...
//SYSIN DD DDNAME=&MODUS.IN
//B64DIN DD *

Error is raised on SYSIN DD.

Local fix

  • Use a syntax like //SYSIN DD DDNAME=B64DIN

Problem summary

  • In JCL editor, DD operation line will return warning when DDNAME
 is supplied with a symbolic value or a symbolic concatenated
with a string. This is theoretically and grammarly correct but
warning is due to the missing grammar rule.

Problem conclusion

  • Added the grammar rules so that warning will not show up.

Temporary fix

  •
