INVALID KEYWORD VALUE. DELIMITER, DESCRIPTOR OR TYPE IS
IMPROPER OR DUPLICATED. AN FD NAME HAS OCCURRED PREVIOUSLY.
Explanation
The keyword value pinpointed by message IEB727I
(if any) is incorrect. Possibly:
- A double quotation mark specified within a picture caused an incorrect
length.
- A starting character of * was used when AL or AN format was specified.
- A character other than 0-9 or A-F was used when a hexadecimal
digit was to be specified.
- A non-numeric character was used when a decimal number was to
be specified.
- A keyword was misspelled.
- An FD statement contained a previously used name.
- Mutually exclusive subparameters are encountered such as FORMAT=CO
and ACTION=RO. In this case, message IEB727I will not precede this
message.
System action
Syntax checking of the remainder of the utility
control statements in this set continues, but no additional data is

encountered. The return code is 8.
System programmer response
