Hi,
My program has variable defined as –
| Code: |
01 WS-SELECT-PARMX.
05 FILLER PIC X(31) VALUE
'CMD(ALLOCATE DDNAME(GPPPUL) DS'.
05 WS-FILE-NAME1 PIC X(28) VALUE SPACES.
05 FILLER PIC X(52) VALUE
' MOD BLKSIZE(2000) LRECL(200) DSORG(PS) RECFM(FB)'.
05 FILLER PIC X(49) VALUE
' TRACKS SPACE(15,15) RELEASE UNIT(SYSDA) CATALOG)'. |
During program processing it set WS-FILE-NAME1 to USERID.TABLEX.XX.CNTL and after that it executes below command-
| Code: |
CALL SPF-ISPLINK USING SPF-SELECTZ
SPF-BUFLEN
WS-SELECT-PARMX. |
While executing this command, it gives following message with RETURN-CODE 12 -
| Code: |
INVALID DATA SET NAME, "USERID.TABLEX.XX.CNTL"
ENTER DATA SET NAME OR * - |
Any idea what could be problem over here?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Suchita

| Do you need the dataset name in single quotes ? |

Hi,
My question is why following message is displayed -
INVALID DATA SET NAME, "USERID.TABLEX.XX.CNTL"
ENTER DATA SET NAME OR * -
why it is saying 'INVALID DATA SET NAME' ?
To give more information WS-FILE-NAME1 is set using below statement -
STRING '(' QUOTE WS-USERID '.'
WS-TABLE-NAME '.J'
ZJCHAR '.CNTL' QUOTE ')'
DELIMITED BY SIZE
INTO WS-FILE-NAME1 OF WS-SELECT-PARMX
Kindly let me know if you need more details. |

I do not speak COBOLESE, but a dataset name to avoid all the prefix/noprefix stuff
should be enclosed in apost[rophes] rather then quote[s]
I might be wrong, but..... |

Hello,
What happens if you change the WS-FILE-NAME1 field to be the same length as your dataset name put the value in the definition rather than building it dynamically?
This would only be for a test to see if the alloc would work or still fails. |

Thanks all for your inputs.
Enrico was right, we have formed dataset name with statement QUOTE which included double quote (") while forming dataset name, so while allocation of dataset I was getting INVALID DATA SET NAME message.
Previously program was working fine because compiler was converting QUOTE to Single Quote properly (This conversion was defined internally in the compiler).
Later somehow compiler stopped the conversion (I guess client has changed the version of compiler) and we started to get the error message.
Thanks for the help.
Regards,
Suchita |
