501: CWD ../ only valid for z/OS UNIX directories

Explanation

The CWD command was entered with a path name of ../ to back up one directory level, but the current working directory was either an MVS™ partitioned data set, or an MVS high level qualifier. The ../ notation is valid only when the current working directory is a z/OS® UNIX directory.

System action

The CWD command is rejected. Control returns to the client for further command processing.

User response

Reissue the CWD command with the corrected path name.

System programmer response

None.
