Problem

Installation of a z/OS PDS deployed server receives the error message above during the ISETUP panels.

Solution

The PDS installation has specific naming conventions for the installation dataset High-Level Qualifier (HLQ). In this case, datasets need to have the HLQ..P.HOME naming convention, however, the user was using HLQ..F.HOME.  Changing the F to a P resolved the issue.
