Hi Tharak,

Look at your program again with the reason for File Status 46:

A sequential READ statement was attempted on a file open in the input or I-O mode and no valid next record had been established because:
1. The preceding READ statement was unsuccessful but did not cause an at end condition
2. The preceding READ statement caused an at end condition.

Cheers, Twissi.

Tharak,

No problem, I'm glad that it worked.

Vijayamadhuri, just for your information, if there's a mismatch between the LRECL in the program and the JCL, the file status will be 90.

Cheers, Twissi.
