The following error might occur when using ODS HTML on z/OS after application of hot fix E9BC53 or E9BC70:

Error: Invalid physical name

The error will occur when using ODS HTML to write HTML output to a HFS file defined in the JCL, such as:

//OUTHTM   DD  PATH='/your/hfs/directory'

To circumvent the problem, replace the DDname in the JCL with a SAS FILENAME statement, such as:

filename outhtm '/your/hfs/directory';
