Mainframe SAS: ERROR 180-322: Statement is not valid or it is used out of proper order.

Hello,

I am new to SAS and have been trying to run a test code on TSO (the code below). I recevied the Error 180-322 under Lines 1 and 10 and could not find out what was wrong with them. This is quite an urgent matter and it is greatly appreciated if I can receive some help soon.

00001 //NGUYEVE1 JOB (XXXX),'XXXX',MSGCLASS=X,CLASS=E,

00002 // PRTY=3,NOTIFY=XXXX,TIME=NOLIMIT

00003 //STEP00 EXEC PAPCRMS,TYPRUN='P'

00004 //DANFILE EXEC SAS

00005 //WORK DD UNIT=(DISK,4),SPACE=(CYL,(2000,1000),RLSE)

00006 //SASAUTOS DD DSN=UCLN23.FSDU.XTRACMAC,DISP=SHR

00009 //NONP1612 DD DSN=RIRU.SONGK3.TDFS.NONPRIME.LON.V1612,DISP=SHR

00010 //SYSIN DD *

00011 DATA NONPRIME;

00012 SET NONP1612.RBVFCL;

00013 PROC PRINT DATA=NONPRIME (obs=10);

00014 RUN;

You should include the log

Also paste the LOG into a code box opened with the forum {i} icon. That error message typically places and underscore in the code where there is an issue. Pasting the log into the code box preserves formatting so we see where that underscore actually occurs that will be removed by the forum if pasted into the body of message as your code example.

And possibly code previously submitted.

Your comment about line 1 and 10 makes me suspect that for some reason the JCL isn't being recognized. Did you submit this interactively (within a SAS session) or as a batch job?

Hello,

I submmitted the job in ISPF editor. I hope I copied the log correctly for you. In the case the JCL is not recognized, could it be because of the information i provided in the job card (the Account ID etc)?

SAS is treating the jcl as if it is SAS code.
If you expect to submit interactively, remove the jcl.

Or find the way to submit it as a batch job

Thank you. I believe this is the answer. Essentially I need to submit the job the right way.
