Can someone explain why I am getting this error?

With very few exceptions, JCL statements MUST start with // -- your GO. statements did not have the // and that is what the error messages are telling you.

Mr. Sample is correct. I am reasonably certain his proposed solution is also correct.

It took me a couple of minutes to deduce how the non-JCL statements (because they did not have // in the first two input positions) wound up in the object input of the Binder. It took me so long because I do not deal with this type of error on a day to day basis and I do not know the exact contents of the IGYWCLG procedure, though I am familiar with similar procedures in other environments.

I should have caught that. It has been corrected. Using a corrected version of the JCL now I get this:

Select all

STMT NO. MESSAGE
         2 IEFC001I PROCEDURE IGYWCLG WAS EXPANDED USING SYSTEM LIBRARY USER.PROCLIB
        43 IEFC621I EXPECTED CONTINUATION NOT RECEIVED

1) It is difficult to know which statement is number 43 without the relevant part of the output but...
2) I am guessing it is because you have a space between a comma and DISP= on your //GO.INPUT line
