Sometimes within a DD concatenation; sometimes not. For example:
3 //STEP EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
//*
4 //DD1 DD *
5 // DD PATH='/dev/./null'
6 // SET V1=WOMBAT
7 // DD PATH='/dev/./null'
//*
8 //DD2 DD *
9 // SET V2=WOMBAT
10 // DD PATH='/dev/./null'
11 //
STMT NO. MESSAGE
10 IEFC019I MISPLACED DD STATEMENT
Why does it report IEFC019I at statement 10, but not at statement 7?
I had grown accustomed to placing SET in complex concatenations, near
a reference for clarity. Today was the first time I tried it after DD *.
Should I submit an RCF requesting clarification or an SR for inconsistent
behavior?
I hate JCL!
