If MASK parameter was specified on a DELETE command, you cannot specify the TYPE parameters of TRUENAME, NVR, VVR, LIBENT, VOLENT and PDSE member data set in the same command. The DELETE MASK command does not support these types of data sets.

System action

The DELETE command failed to proceed. A return code of Start of change12End of change was issued.

If the error recurs and the program is not in error, look at the messages in the job log for more information. Search problem reporting data bases for a fix for the problem. If no fix exists, contact the IBM® Support Center. Provide the JCL and the SYSOUT output for the job.

Programmer response

You might perform one of the following procedures:
  • Remove the TYPE parameter of the DELETE command. Run the job again. The DELETE MASK command will be completed. The data sets that are not TRUENAME, NVR, VVR, LIBENT, VOLENT and PDSE member will be deleted.
  • Remove the MASK parameter, and use the generic DELETE.
