Error description

  • FCH job is not successful if the find string has a trailing
    space, such as in a test FCH job:
    
    C 'STRING1 ' ' STRING1,ALIAS=AB '
    
    If there is a space in front, such as C ' STRING1' it works
    fine. This is only a problem if there is a trailing space on
    this string enclosed in quotes. As a part of the FCH JCL=YES
    process, File Manager in generating a JCL card is removing the
    trailing blanks. This results in the value 'nnnnn ' (trailing
    space) to not be found.
    

Local fix

  • Remove trailing space from search argument, or use JCL=NO.
