Could you post some more details? I believe its a mainframe DS job. IS the problem with the code generation? Can you post the design of the job?

Cheers,
Vishy

If it's a mainframe job you can't validate it - you can only push the COBOL and JCL files to the mainframe for compilation and execution.
Please confirm whether this is a mainframe job or a server job.

My misunderstanding - this used to be called pre-compilation; it's the phase where the code generator does a "sanity check" of the design before attempting to generate code.

This style of message usually arises when there is some mandatory property missing, such as a file or table name. Mainframe jobs are not, unfortunately, very good at generating good diagnoses so you have to do your own systematic detective work.

Tip: also check the volume and serial (etc) of any file that you are having the job create - these, too, are mandatory properties.
