With all my years of experience, I was finally able to get a job to fail with a JCL error (after 7 tries) - my last JCL error occurred in the late 80's.
M 4040000 FUP7 25112 17:57:34.54 JOB01117 00000090 IEFC452I JCERRJCE - JOB NOT RUN - JCL ERROR 384 ... M 4008000 FUP7 25112 17:58:34.59 STC10966 00000080 AOF568I 17:58:34 : STATUS OF NTVF7 OUTBOUND GATEWAY TO DOMAIN 386 E 386 00000080 ING01 IS INACTIVE - TARGET DOMAIN ING01 IS NOT ACTIVE M 4008000 FUP7 25112 17:58:34.61 STC10966 00000080 AOF568I 17:58:34 : STATUS OF NTVF7 OUTBOUND GATEWAY TO DOMAIN 387 E 387 00000080 ING02 IS INACTIVE - TARGET DOMAIN ING02 IS NOT ACTIVE M 4008000 FUP7 25112 17:58:34.62 STC10966 00000080 AOF568I 17:58:34 : STATUS OF NTVF7 OUTBOUND GATEWAY TO DOMAIN 388 E 388 00000080 ING03 IS INACTIVE - TARGET DOMAIN ING03 IS NOT ACTIVE I'm guessing that mysterious number all the way to the right has nothing to do with the number of JCL statements. I would love to show you the JCL I used to produce this, but I would have to eliminate everyone on this list. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Steve Thompson Sent: Tuesday, April 22, 2025 2:26 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: [IBM-MAIN] IEFC452I !?! **** External Email - Use Caution **** Thank you. I forgot to mention that I did run this with TYPRUN=SCAN and get the same message. And to be sure, I have been running this JOB off an for the past month. I have gotten file not found. That was the first thing I checked, using "F FOUND" and that typically shows me the missing DSN. Not on/with this failure. And submitting it again -- the suffixing number of the error is different, and is greater than the number of JCL statements in this JOB. So that doesn't seem related.
