COBES0217 Invalid character in MEMBER name.

The value specified for the MEMBER HCOSS compiler directive option contains an illegal character.

Resolution:

If you have not specified the MEMBER compiler directive option, then HCOSS uses the program name by default. In this case, change the name of your program name such that it conforms to the syntax for mainframe Partitioned Data Set names, and recompile the program.

If you have specified the MEMBER compiler directive option, then recompile the program specifying a member name that conforms to the syntax for mainframe Partitioned Data Set names.
