I was able to set up a situation that generated a similar, but not identical, error message when I issued the SUB command:
ISPF system data set allocation error - press Enter to continue. Temporary control card data set cannot be allocated. DAIR RC = 12 dec, DARC = 970C hex. *** That was with my TSO profile set to NOWTPMSG. If I reset it to WTPMSG the cause of the problem is obvious: ICH408I USER(BSB945 ) GROUP(DX95 ) NAME(LEAHY, DON ) DXXX.BSB945.SPFTEMP0.CNTL CL(DATASET ) VOL(STRD17) DEFINE - RESOURCE NOT PROTECTED ISPF system data set allocation error - press Enter to continue. Temporary control card data set cannot be allocated. DAIR RC = 12 dec, DARC = 970C hex. *** Do you have WTPMSG turned on? (It's a long shot, most people do).
