Hi All

I'm trying to run this job but I'm getting the continuation not received error. I can't figure out what the problem with statement 14 is.

Please take a look at the job below:

************************** TOP OF DATA *******************************

************************* BOTTOM OF DATA ********************************



Here's the JES SYSMSG log:

********************************* TOP OF DATA **********************************
 STMT NO. MESSAGE                                                               
       14 IEFC621I EXPECTED CONTINUATION NOT RECEIVED                           
       15 IEFC605I UNIDENTIFIED OPERATION FIELD                                 
       16 IEFC605I UNIDENTIFIED OPERATION FIELD                                 
       17 IEFC605I UNIDENTIFIED OPERATION FIELD                                 
******************************** BOTTOM OF DATA *******************************


Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

OKay I did some searching and found out that continued statements should always start before column 16. Sorry for posting.

Glad you resolved it on your own. This is a fairly common error, especially if you're not familiar with JCL restrictions.
