Gil, I think a PMR is indeed appropriate here. SYSLIB is not documented as a DDNAME for any specific purpose for IEHLIST, SYSLIB is not documented as an invalid DDname for the anyname DD statement, and, as you say, the error message issued is thoroughly misleading.

Your JCL will fail on z/OS 1.12 as well.

change name of SYSLIB   DD to something else //VDSKAA9   DD
UNIT=3390,VOL=SER=DSKAA9,DISP=SHR will work.

While you would think SYSLIB would qualify as anyname apparently it dose
not.

Submit a PMR.


Under z/OS 1.11, IEHLIST lists the VTOC as expected. Under z/OS 1.13,
IEHLIST issues the following message and quits:

IEH106I UNAVAILABLE DEVICE TYPE OR VOLUME I.D. SPECIFIED

Even if the doc were to be updated (as it should), the message is
totally irrelevant to the syntax error.  They might even fix it (they
should) by removing the dependency on "SYSLIB" and using a
generated DDNAME.
