dito_magno · Posted: Mon Oct 29, 2007 2:10 pm

i get an abend when in the compile step of linked have this concatenation DD of syslib:
//SYSLIB DD DSN=library1,DISP=SHR,
// MONITOR=COMPONENTS
// DD DSN=library2,DISP=SHR,
// MONITOR=COMPONENTS
// DD DSN=NULLFILE,DISP=SHR,
// MONITOR=COMPONENTS
// DD DSN=NULLFILE,DISP=SHR,
// MONITOR=COMPONENTS
// DD DSN=library3,DISP=SHR,
// MONITOR=COMPONENTS
// DD DSN=library4,DISP=SHR,
// MONITOR=COMPONENTS

the abend is :
IEW2745S D80F ABEND 013-64 OCCURRED WHILE PROCESSING PARTITIONED DATA SET WITH DDNAME SYSLIB.
IEW2453E 920D UNABLE TO PROCESS LIBRARY SYSLIB DURING AUTOCALL PROCESSING.

the NULLFILE is not compatible with the SYSLIB of LKED step???

Hello dito_magno and welcome to the forums,

When you have an abend or other diagnostic info, you can often find the error via the "Manuals" link at the top of the web page.

I'd suggest you look up the abend (013-64) for practice. When you become comfortable with the manuals, you will find that you can get answers more quickly that way rather than waiting for a reply from someone at the forum.

When you look up this abend, it will direct you an error message (i believe it is IEC141I) which will tell you that indeed, nullfile cannot be used in your situation.

Good luck and we're here when you have questions.

If it is like DD DUMMY, then you can not have a dummied file in the middle of a concatenation. You will need to specify the files that will be used and then dummy the rest at the end.

Hello,

No, it is not quite like DUMMY.

When the load module search is done the i/o method cannot handle the nullfile.
