What a shame that you didn't pick psychic day to post, that way we could have seen the output of the job without you needing to post it on the forum.

I believe that you will find that the 158 is just an extraneous piece of text written out by the JES subsystem, and the real cause of the JCL error is clearly stated in the text that you have not bothered to post.

From the JCL Language Reference (link at the top of the page):
Quote:
12.2.5 Location in the JCL

A DD * statement begins an in-stream data set.

In-stream Data for Cataloged or In-stream Procedures

A cataloged or in-stream procedure cannot contain a DD * statement.
Rewrite your PROC to get rid of the DD *

The number (158 in your case) is a multi-line WTO identifier.

If there are additional message lines to explain the error, they will begin with the same number to show that they go together as a set.

Even though the logic prepares for it, there are not always additional lines so the number is sometimes meaningless.

Mani, next time please post the requested information. We have no idea what statements 4, 7, 8, 9, and 16 are unless you show ALL relevant information. If I remember correctly, the JESJCL data set is the one that shows statement number along with the statement.
