Data ID not created

I'm preparing a tool for my project requirments. I'm using the LMINIT service to create the Data id for the DS. But everytime it gives me a return code of 8. And from help manuals I could see that RC=8 means Data ID not created.

Can any one help me out with the error.

Below is the piece of code with which i am finding problem:

ADDRESS ISPEXEC "LMINIT DATAID(did2) DATASET ('"DSN1"') ENQ(SHR)"
IF RC <> 0 THEN
DO
SAY 'LMINIT RETURNED AN ERROR RC OF: ' RC
RETURN
END
ADDRESS ISPEXEC "LMOPEN DATAID("did2")"
IF RC <> 0 THEN
DO
SAY 'LMOPEN RETURNED A RC OF: ' RC
RETURN
END

you need to run with TRACE ?R.
I imagine (just a guess) that the resolution of DSN1 is not correct.

Has dsn1 been allocated?

Poornima, what does the ISPF Services Guide say about return code 8?

The DSN1 data set is already created and the RC = 8 means that the Data id is not created.

In my PS file i had two PDS data sets names. When i tried removing one it was working fine. and when i give more than one PDS the same rexx gives me this error.

Thanks.
