Action
Points to check
Were tens of file statements defined in JCL?
Were tens of file names specified in the file statements in JCL?
Cause
When the JCL syntax is interpreted, an area that manages the file statement information per individual step is allocated. If a large number of file statements is defined, or a long file name is defined in the file statement, the number of characters that can manage the information exceeds the limit. As a result, an error message may be output and the job may fail to start.
Action method
Reduce the number of lines for the file statement specified in the step, or consider making each file name specified in the file statement shorter.
