Error description
From the FM 3.4 panel, user attempts to generate batch JCL to define a new file, based on a model dataset. The DD statement's SPACE parameter when allocating in blocks is in error: For a BLKSIZE=8000, FM generates: SPACE=(BLK,(36,9)) It should be SPACE=(8000,(36,9))
Local fix
Manually correct JCL prior to submission.
