I am having a problem with IEATDUMP. I am trying to use &DS. I've read the manuals. I've searched the manuals.

If I understand correctly, &DS resolves to nnn such as 001, 002, etc.

So why is the system complaining about this construct (at execution time, not during assembly):

 DC AL1(44),CL44'CMPL.&&JOBNAME..D&&YYMMDD..T&&HHMMSS..D&&DS'

I've tried everything I can think of and the system complains about &DS must be the last element.

If I understand the fine text of the manual in this area, the last qualifier will start with a numeric unless I concatenate it to an Alphabetic/national. So without that concatenation, I should get a failure in SVC99 for a bad text unit from IEATDUMP's (SVC 51) routines.

BTW -- Worked great with the DDNAME. But I had to change to DSN= to solve another issue and I just can't seem to figure this one out.

Regards,
Steve Thompson
