I have an authorised application that is failing when, after having raise d a non-jobstep TCB, it LINKs to IDCAMS and encounters an ALLOCATE command in the input stream. IDCAMS reports the failure as: IDC3933I ATTACH RETURN CODE WAS 24
From the Authorized Assembler Services Reference, the explanation for t his error is: "Program error. An attempt to create a new subtask would cause the curren t task to have a mix of job step and nonjob step subtasks. Processing not completed." Does anybody know why this restriction is in place and, more importantly, have a reasonable suggestion on how to circumvent the problem other than by altering my ATTACH to specify JSTCB=YES or resequencing things such tha t the LINK to IDCAMS comes first ? Thanks, Mark.
