Condition

User-supplied error message. A generic informational or diagnostic message, sent by a program using its own message text rather than a predefined system message ID. By default it is an *INFO message, not necessarily a failure by itself.

Fix

Read the actual message text, not just the ID; CPF9897 is a wrapper for whatever text the program author chose to send. Check the job log for the specific reason or reason code named in that text, since the ID alone gives no diagnostic information.
