Userid doesn't have access to data set
Hello there,
I'm trying to run a job on zOS mainframe. I've created my data sets, IND$FILE'd my COBOL and run JCL etc. and I can successfully submit the job.
The problem is that the job then sits in the input queue. When I look at the job in sdsf I see reference to the user not having access to the data set.
I'm not sure what to do. i created the dataset with my userid but when I submit the job it asks me to add characters to the job. So, if I type an A for instance, It will say myuserA doesn't have access to the dataset myuser.blah.blah
Any idea what I can do?
Obviously I don't know too much about mainframe.
TIA!

When I was doing some googling I thought I read something about a bug where a backup would hold open a data set? Could this be related to that?

Thanks again Ggiltjr. I'm thinking there was some other process holding the data set captive. It ran fine a while ago.
yay!

Yes, some other process was holding the file. The system programmers should be able to find out what next time.
As for the bug and backup. It depends on the backup software and how it works. It's possible, but unlikely.

On z/OS TSO user-ids are limit to 7 characters. This is so that the system can automatically add a 8th character to uniquely identify jobs. Job names are limited to 8 characters.
If the job is not running there are a couple of things that could be going on.
1) Do you happen to have TYPRUN=HOLD on the job card?
2) You have submitted the job in a job class (CLASS=x) that either does not exist, the initiators that are allowed to run CLASS x are drained, or they have jobs already running in them.
You need to check with somebody to see what class you should be using.
Can you copy and paste full message that says you don't have access to a file?
