U0062 abend in job

[Sweta Basa]

I have a job which when restarted using ca11 gives u0062 abend. I tried cancelling the job in Ca7 by giving force=yes, but still when I demand the job again,it fails with u0062 abend. How do I fix the abend.

Thanks and Regards
Sweta

U0062 abend occurs when the CA 11 option REASON=ABEND is used.  REASON=ABEND requires a reason for rerun to be provided for the rerun/restart of jobs. If a reason for rerun is not provided on a restart the U0062 abend occurs.  For your reference I have attached the following knowledge doc:

I concur with Alisa's response - documentation shows this:

U0062 abend occurs when the CA 11 option REASON=ABEND is used.  REASON=ABEND requires a reason for rerun to be provided for the rerun/restart of jobs. If a reason for rerun is not provided on a restart the U0062 abend occurs.   Other values to consider if you do not want the job to abend when reason for rerun is not provided are below:

REASON=NO indicates no reason for rerun is required.
REASON=PROMPT indicates a reason for rerun is required and if omitted the system prompts the operator to supply a reason for rerun.

U0062 also means that the job is still flagged as restart mode in CA-11. You can clean up the CMT for that job and then demand it in.
