The issue, as pointed out by others, is that JCL looks for continuation on or before column 16.

Below I provided a view of the JCL in ISPF Edit using the Cols line command.

enter image description here

In your example note that the line after TEMDATA is counted as line 5 and has been converted to a comment noted by the new //* because of the incorrect continuation and so the following lines were considered new JCL statements.

enter image description here

Here is a reformatted version using a traditional approach. Note that the DDName TEMDATA is aligned to allow an 8 character DDName followed by the DD statement and then the positional parameters. This allows for fairly clean coding regardless if DDNames are less than 8 characters and alignment.

Try

000009 //TEMDATA DD DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),                            
000010 //           DSN=HERC01.TKARTHI.EXAMPLE,                         
000011 //           SPACE=(TRK,(45,45,50)),                             
000012 //           DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=800,DSORG=PO),       
000013 //           UNIT=SYSDA

you have DSN=, SPACE= to far to the right. Columns are important in JCL
