Problem:
We are running batch jobs using IDCAMS and the Spool output is unreadable. What can be wrong?
Resolution:
The problem can be the datasets used for the batch run. In this case, we found that there was a control card PDS defined for IDCAMS input, but it was defined in the Mainframe Express Catalog as a data PDS. Once we used DSORG=PO, RECFM=LSEQ, LRECL=80, then the JCL ran cleanly and the Spool was readable.
