IEBGENER - Emptying dataset.

[arrbee]

Hi,

I am using the below JCL to clear the content of a PS file using IEBGENER. But, it is ending with an RC of 12.

HI ,

I really dont know why is it not working as i tried the same code in my machine and it worked.....

//STEP01 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//*
//SYSUT2 DD DSN=xxx.xxx.xx,DISP=SHR
//SYSUT1 DD DUMMY
//*
//SYSIN DD DUMMY


Try submitting the jcl again. It should work out....

arrbee,

You probably need to specify a RECFM and LRECL for the SYSUT1 DD DUMMY that matches your SYSUT2 data set. For example:

//SYSUT1 DD DUMMY,RECFM=FB,LRECL=80

Note that this might work without specifying RECFM and LRECL in some shops because the values are being defaulted (e.g. by SMS). But in your shop (and in mine), you need to specify attributes for DUMMY that match those attributes for your output data set.
