I used sysout of sort step in another step as input dataset along with some other input files.

When i did PREP(Syntax check), I got the below message
"JCPA JCP0451E DATASET 'FBTA.FFH452A.OVERD.SMOSORT' IS NOT CATALOGED"

But even the prep error is there, running successfully.

IF it is already existing Dataset, the error is not comming.
Please help me to avouid the above PREP error.

I have pasted the JCL below

Code:

If the job runs OK even with a prep error what's the problem.

I suggest that you talk to the people responsible for the installation and customisation of this product and point out that the setup may need changing as it issues missing dataset errors for datasets created in the job stream.

Anyway, if you need a JCL scanner, well ........................................ icon_cry.gif

You've not shown where the mesasge was flagged. Most possibly, that should be the second place(at least) in your JCL, where you refer to the same DSN again while data-set is not yet cataloged. JEM (other JCL syntax check tool) used to flag such an error - please check if that helps you in your curiocity.

That DISP looks a little odd to me for an input dataset as part of concatenation.

nice catch Craig,

I don't spend much time looking too deep wit JCL check/scan errors.

you are correct, a simple DISP=SHR is appropriate.

or, if it has to be deleted, then OLD,DELETE,DELETE

but better an IEFBR14 after the sort step with the old,del,del.

sorta stupid to delete an input dataset with a DISP during the same step
incase of ABEND.
