Unable to use a DDNAME for the FNAME in a CFTUTIL SEND command

Problem

A DDNAME is defined in the CFTUTIL JCL and then is used in the SEND command for the FNAME in the form of FNAME=$DDNAME



The transfer doesn't works and ends with DIAGI=110 (file not found)


Resolution


A DDNAME can be used with Transfer CFT only when the DDNAME is defined in the CFTMAIN step.



CFTUTIL DO NOT manage the file allocation in any way, it just pass the CFTUTIL command to the monitor as is.
The monitor tries to allocate the FNAME (still filled with the $DDNAME used in the SEND JCL)



The DDNAME cannot be resolved if unknown from the monitor (not defined into the MONITOR JCL).
