CPA0593E

EXTERNAL operand is missing and External Work File not specified in JCL

Explanation

The specified report did not specify an EXTERNAL operand and no External Work File is available in the JCL to satisfy the request. This report requires an External Work File to sort its records.

System action

The report is ignored and command processing continues.

User response

Specify an External Work File in the JCL with a DDname prefixed by CPAXW. Optionally specify this DDname in the EXTERNAL operand to associate the report with this file. If the EXTERNAL operand is not specified, CICS PA will assign the next available External Work File in the pool until they are exhausted. See External sorting for information on the DD statements for External Work Files.
