II07177: USE OF THE SUFFIX IN DATA SET NAMES CREATES PROBLEMS IM JOB DSNTIJUZ.

Error description

• If a suffix is specified on panel DSNTIPA1, the Install clist
  will append the suffix to the appropriate datasets as the jobs
  are generated.  However, this creates a problem in job DSNTIJUZ.
  This job contains 5 steps.  Steps 1 and 2 assemble and linkedit
  DSNZPARM, steps 3 and 4 assemble and linkedit DSNHDECP, and
  step 5 does JCLIN using DSNTIJUZ as input.  Because we are using
  a suffix in our dataset names, the dataset name pointed to by
  //SYSLMOD becomes DSN310.SDSNEXIT.SUFFIX (in steps 2 & 4).  When
  we do a JCLIN in step 5, SMP/E picks up the lowest qualifier in
  the //SYSLMOD dataset (in this case, 'SUFFIX') as the SYSLIB -
  ddname.  If maintenance needs to be applied to either DSNZPARM
  or DSNHDECP, SMP/E will look for a DD card with a ddname of
  'SUFFIX' and fail because no such DD card exists.  To bypass
  this problem, customers must run a SMP/E UCLIN REPLACE LMOD to
  replace the SYSLIB-ddname 'SUFFIX' with 'SDSNEXIT'.  For
  example,
  SET BDY(TARGETZ).                 SET BDY(TARGETZ).
    UCLIN.                            UCLIN.
      REP LMOD(DSNHDECP)                REP LMOD(DSNZPARM)
      SYSLIB(SDSNEXIT) .                SYSLIB(SDSNEXIT) .
    ENDUCL.                           ENDUCL.
