THE RECORD FORMAT OF THE OUTPUT DATA SET WITH DDNAME ddname IS NOT VALID.

Explanation

The only record formats that are valid are F (fixed), V (variable), and U (undefined). Sometimes the user may not specify the record format in the data set. For example, when the user allocates the terminal as output, he must specify the record format as something instead of just empty.

The other time that this condition can occur when a U format data set is specified as the receiver of a copy of a text HFS file. This is not supported.

In the message text:
ddname
The data definition name specified on the command.
