ispf139 - Output file is not a PDS

genesis786

Hi, I am executing this code but getting ISP139 error saying output file is not a PDS. But 'jdsd' i have defined is in fact a PDS.

I have always used LMM... API's to deal with PDS's
because then I don't have to get into the nitty gritty of
assembler type commands,
plus the nature of an ALLOCATE to impose attributes on an existing file.

So, I don't know if you should have defined jdsd as
jdsd = "DGE.QIKREF.JCL"
or
jdsd = "DGE.QIKREF.JCL(member-name)"

because i don't use the FT... group of instructions.

I would insert an rc check after every ispexec invokation, and then trace it.

the error is in the ftopen statement ,
in order to save to a member of a pds the TEMP keyword should not be used
