I am getting the below mentioned error after executing Clist program using 6 option in ISPF.

Invalid dsname list

Data set name(s) incorrectly specified.


if You want good answers learn to post good questions ( well formulated )

based on the amount of info provided the best answer You might get
( technically correct but unfortunately useless) would be...

check Your clist and specify the data set names as <required>

and ... DO NOT COMPLAIN , it was You who asked for it :mrgreen:

I am very new to Clist and ISPF. Can you tell me if there is any way to find exactly which dataset name is wrong in clist program, as there are many dataset names??

look at the manual for the message,
from there You should be able to understand what statement caused it..

follow on.
since You are <new> it would be wiser to use REXX scripts instead of CLISTs

is it a clist or a panel that's throwing the errors?
if a clist you can debug somewhat like a rexx exec
turn on debug right after the PROC statement add.....
                 
CONTROL PROMPT NOFLUSH MSG CONLIST SYMLIST LIST                                                   
     
ISPEXEC CONTROL ERRORS RETURN                                   

Probably more debugging than you need, but it will resolve variables from the panel and from the clist

Actually while executing Clist using 6 option, the error has been thrown. Then i executed the panel separately, above given error thrown in panel.
I have a statement given below in the clist.
PROC 0 DEBUG()


You want me to put it like mentioned below?
 
PROC 0 DEBUG()
CONTROL PROMPT NOFLUSH MSG CONLIST SYMLIST LIST                                                   
     
ISPEXEC CONTROL ERRORS RETURN

Am i right?
