What can be done to resolve a JCL error that reads ‘DATASET NOT FOUND’?

0

Some of the actions one can take to resolve a JCL error ‘DATASET NOT FOUND’ are: 1. One must examine the job log and the allocation/deallocation report and identify the step and DDname involved. 2. Determine whether or not the dataset name does indeed exist on the system. 3. Check the JCL to make sure the dataset name is spelled correctly. 4. If the job has more than one step and the ABEND is not on the first step, check to see if the dataset on the previous step was deleted. 5. Fix the problem and resubmit the job.
