PH36850: OUTPUT FORMAT IS REQUIRED FOR SCHEDULE AND JOB OR JOBSTEP

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In 11.1.7 when create a schedule for a job, the default job
  options (and job step options) require a default format which
  was not the case in 11.0.13. In case a job/jobsteps are migrated
  from 11.0.13 with no format set (use the default format of
  report or user profile) it confuses the customer although nit
  taken into account unless job/jobsteps are saved the first time
