PROGRAM program ATTEMPTING TO OVERWRITE DIRECTORY OF dsname

Reason:

A program is trying to update a partitioned data set without specifying a data set member name. If the update occurs, then the directory of the data set will be overwritten. The name of the program is shown in place of the program variable, and the dsname of the data set is shown in place of the dsname variable. If the ABEND option is in effect for this data set, then EDIF abends the program and issues message MIM4007. Otherwise, EDIF lets the update occur.

Action:

Specify the ABEND option on an EDIF processing statement if you want to prevent this update. Otherwise, exempt the program from attribute verification using the EXEMPT parameter on an EDIF processing statement. Issue a SETOPTION MEMBER command to make your changes take effect immediately.
