Resolving The Problem

Solution

1. Increase EXEC REGION in the JCL (Either on the Jobcard or on the individual step)
or
2. Include DD DCB BLKSIZE (or use smaller BLKSIZE). For example: EBDI016 Split Files should have BLKSIZE 8000 (as delivered) or lower, when using more than a few Split Files. When BLKSIZE is Missing or Zero, IBM uses initial BLKSIZE = 32767. The default BUFNO=10 will allocate 327K for each file.
or
3. Include EXEC ,PARM='/ALL(ON)' in the JCL. This allows execution above the line.
