M204.2623 JCL ddNames not allowed for GDG members; use DEFINE DATASET
A GDG stream must have its member defined by using the DEFINE DATASET command. This is because the command's specified DDNAME is reused for multiple data set names, but a JCL DD statement remains static for the duration of the run.
