Question

I am learning mainframe programming now. I got a tso id with Dezhi and I am using PASSPORT terminal emulator.My user is CATIA81

I uploaded a few jobs and a cobol program to test. I tried to submit a job through the ISPF COMMAND SHELL:

 SUBMIT CATIA81.KSDCRTJ1.JCL 

AND I GET THE FOLLOWING ERROR:

 SUBMIT cancelled, JOBNAME must start with CATIA81

This is what I have

The orginal JOBNAME was KSDDELJ1, which I altered to CATIA81KDEL1.
What was(were) my mistake(s)?

Answer 1

Job names can be no longer than 8 characters, change the job name from CATIA81KDEL1 to CATIA81K
