Usage Note 17317: SAS job containing multiple SAS steps receives abend S213-04
In a SAS batch job, on z/OS, that contains multiple SAS steps
a S213-04 abend may be received.
IEC143I 213-04,IFG0194D,jobname,SAS,STEPLIB,xx,xxxx,
SYS06061.T042735.RA00
The system generated dataset name for the NULLPDS DD used in
the STEPLIB allocation is the root cause of the S213-04 abend.
JES resolves this name based on the DSN= value which causes
it to be the same name as referenced in previous step. Thus, the
initial DELETE causes subsequent OPEN error.
There are several workarounds to this problem. The easiest is
to remove the 'DSN=&&NULLPDS' from the SAS PROC's which are
being used. This will cause a unique name to be generated for
each SAS job step.
