Specific information for this return code: Specific information for this return code: An attempt was made to open concatenated VSAM data sets. Concatenation of VSAM data sets is not supported.

This error can also occur if the TIOT contains old entries and has not been refreshed after the data set has been moved. For example, in the case of a DELETE/DEFINE/REPRO in the same step and using the OUTFILE parameter instead of the OUTDATASET parameter (which causes the allocation information to be refreshed).
