One dataset is creating in the step1 with LRECL of 133 and
the same dataset is used in the next step in DISP=SHR mode,
but while scanning the JCL the following error is thrwon.
Please verify the below JCL

Answer / giri12

The error in the above JCL is... In the program the record
length for the dataset is mentioned as 80 but in the job it
is mentioned as 133. It is somewhat lrecl mismatch.

If you tailor JCL with changes, it will look like this.
$/SEPP030.PROVIDER DD
DSN=Z1225BT.F5750PG9.F5910PRV.QC#A6868

$/ DD DSN=Z1225BT.F5910EPP.ERRORRPT.AOUTPUT

Here the line starting with $/ is an override line.

But my questin here is $/ line has SEPP030.XXXXXX which
indicates there is a proc override but i'm not able to see
any proc in the JCL only pgm is there.We can use this stmt
only when we are using procedure's but not programs

file Z1225BT.F5910EPP.ERRORRPT.AOUTPUT details like where
it is created is not provided may be there they might have
given as 133..

If you see the last 2 lines the files are concatenated
F5910PG.F5910EPP.ERRORRPT.P 1225BT.F5910EPP.ERRORRPT.AOUTPUT
when you are contatenating the files should be of same LRECL
I guess there we are getting this error.

If you can provide the exact JCL/Details i can help you out.

Answer / arjun

Actually BLKSIZE is coded as 0 .I think BLKSIZE should
always be coded in multiples of LRECL.i.e; LRECL=133 then
BLKSIZE=1330 should be coded.
