Thanks to all who replied via List or offline. I was not asking how to fix the JCL errors. We've had to do that (unassisted) for decades. I was asking about a x/OS change that occurred some time ago whereby the actual error is displayed on the user's screen instead of forcing one to guess by trial and error. Did that change actually occur, or am I dreaming?
