Hallo.
I have a problem with using IDCAMS for creating new mastercatalog. here is the fragment of the JCL code^

//MKMASTCA EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
DEFINE -
MCAT ( -
ICFCATALOG -
NAME(ICF.210RES.NMCAT) -
VOL(210RES) -
CYL(10 5) -
FREESPACE(10 10) -
SHR(3 4) -
STRNO(3) -
) -
DATA ( - ............................

Job ended with con code 12
the problem is:
IDC3203I ITEM 'ICF.210RES.NMCAT' DOES NOT ADHERE TO RESTRICTIONS

what is wrong with the name? or maybe i forgot something?

Hello and welcome to the forum,

Do you know the rules for naming a dataset?

The dataset name you used is an invalid dataset name. . .

No node of a dsn may begin with a number.
