IEB124I
INVALID LRECL (nnnnn)

Explanation

The logical record length of the data set identified by message IEB120I is not valid. It may be zero, or exceed the maximum allowed by the data set block size (DCBBLKSI).

One of the following may have occurred:
  1. The data set has never been opened for output, therefore the BLKSIZE and LRECL fields in the data set label are uninitialized.
  2. A data set intended for output is being used for input because of incorrect control statements.
  3. The data set is not a PDS, but a VSAM, or SYSOUT data set, etc.
  4. RECFM has been incorrectly coded in the JCL.
In the message text:
nnnnn
The record length tested.

The severity is 8.

System action

The operation is ended and the next control statement is sought.

System programmer response

The IEHLIST utility may be used to display the logical record length in the data set label. 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 all printed output and output data sets related to the problem.

Programmer response

Verify the IEBCOPY control statements. Verify that the job which created the data set was successful. Verify the BLKSIZE and LRECL used when allocating the data set.
