Error description
Information Server 11.3. If a multi-instance job is run via a sequence and the job's invocation ID is a parameter, DataStage allows the sequence to pass an invocation id with special characters, example 1A,2B. When the job is run, the director immediately errors with Run-time error 5 Invalid procedure call or argument The Director will then error every time it is open until the job is recompiled or the config file is cleared.
Local fix
recompile the job. Dont use special characters in the invocation id
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: Use of Job Sequencer to initiate jobs supplying Invocation Id as a parameter **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When a sequence calls a job using an invocation id that contains a comma, a run time error results **************************************************************** RECOMMENDATION: Invocation IDs should consist of alphanumeric and underscore characters only. The job sequencer will be modified to prevent use of other characters, as the Director already does. APAR raised for future fix. ****************************************************************
Problem conclusion
Temporary fix
Recompile the job. Dont use special characters in the invocation id
