DSNT456I   ERROR IN VARIABLE varname, VALUE IS value

Explanation

The variable named 'varname' does not have a valid value. Its current value is 'value'. Subsequent messages will describe the reason the value is invalid and the action taken by the CLIST.

If the error is in the CONTROL value, the value was specified when the CLIST was invoked. The value is not valid, and no additional tracing will be done. The permitted values are NONE, LIST, CONLIST, and SYMLIST. Each value produces more CLIST tracing information than those which precede it. If the error is in other values, the value was specified when the CLIST was invoked on the ISPF panels.

This message is issued by the following installation CLIST: DSNTINST

System action

The CLIST will continue, but will not produce jobs or parameter data.

User response

Check the subsequent messages. Exit, then invoke the CLIST with a valid value for the variable.

Problem determination

If you suspect an error in the process, set CONTROL(CONLIST) and invoke the CLIST in batch, so that the tracing can be sent with the error documentation. The CLIST itself and the parameter member read in should be sent as well.

Severity

8 (error)
