Chip,
I replicated your process and had the following ERROR message in my JES MSG LOG
from z/OS V1.12
IEF694I DDNAME REFERENCE TO DD CONCATENATION REFERS ONLY TO FIRST DD
Explanation: THE JCL DDNAME keyword has been used to refer to a DD
concatenation. When the object of a DDNAME reference is a concatenation of
multiple DDs, only the first DD in the concatenation is actually
referenced.
System Action: The system issues message IEF677I and continues processing
the job. The first DD in the referenced concatenation is associated with
the referencing DD. The remaining (unlabeled) DDs in the referenced
concatenation are concatenated to the labeled DD immediately preceding the
concatenation.
User Response: If the DDNAME reference was intended to refer to the
entire concatenation, move the concatenated DDs to follow the referencing
DD rather than the referenced DD. This will ensure that the concatenation
is correctly defined to the system.
So you need to have your input last.
