The ISPF/PDF option 3.4 makes me assume zOS.
You did not post the error message.
copy/paste is your friend. In 3.4, with the
short error message on the screen, did you
press PF1 to get a long error message?
My guess would be that either the device is too
large to use a format 5 DSCB ( 3390-9 and up )
or dasdload does not manage a format 5 DSCB so
free space information is incorrect on the disk.
To fix, allocate a data on the disk to tell zOS
to build proper free space information.
//JOB JOB JOB,JOB JOB
//IEFBR14 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
//TEMP DD UNIT=3390,VOL=SER=xxxxxx,SPACE=(TRK,1)
//* ISPF/PDF option =3.2 would also work.
You will get a console message saying that
either the DIRF or DOS comtamination bit was on
so format 5 or 7 free space information is being
rebuilt.
