My first assumption is that you are trying to overlay the active IOCDS. Could that be the issue?

The build ends with the 'write protect' error below. According to the IOCP message guide it states; ' ICP408I IOCDS Ax IS WRITE PROTECTED Explanation: IOCP attempted to write an IOCDS to the support element hard disk but the IOCDS is write-protected. System action: IOCP ends the write operation. Programmer response: Remove the write protection and rerun the job. To remove the write protection, use Disable Write Protection under Options on the Input/Output Configuration panel.' First I do not see any 'disable write protection' option in the hcd panels as stated above in the iocp guide, second I was able to build a new IOCDS back in Dec to A0 with no problems. I have exhausted the iocp guide and the hcd guide and did find the specifics to disable write protection, although it was mentioned in the hcd options I'm just not see it. HDC outout listing error; ICP408I IOCDS A1 IS WRITE PROTECTED ICP058I IOCP DID NOT WRITE IOCDS A1 ICP051I IOCP VERSION 02.02.00 TERMINATED. CODE=41 CBD.CPC.IOCDS - my userid has update auth to this profile. How do I disable the write protection?
