FILE Concatenation issue -S0C4

Hi,
There are two cobol programs A and B. Both the programs are OS VS Cobol. A calls B for each record. The input in the JCL is the concatenation of Two datasets.like
//input dd dsn=dataset1
// dd dsn=datset2

This programs works fine in Non-LE. Whereas it gives S0C4 in LE after processing all the records from dataset1 and some records from dataset2.

1)When i merge both the files into one file like dataset3 and i give the input as
//input dd dsn=dataset3, it works fine in LE.
2) If i upgrade the cobol version of program B to E-Cobol, it works fine with input given as
//input dd dsn=dataset1
// dd dsn=datset2

What could be the reason?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Does each of your files has the same BLKSIZE?

Check the value of the BLKSIZE and increase the SPACE for the file. This error in most of the conditions occur for the Virtual Address Not Found.

All the attributes are same for both the files.

FYI... When i upgrade the source to E-CObol.. it works fine...
Why is it not woring when it is OS VS Cobol?

One more suggestion in continuation to my previous post. You always try again byt increasing the WorkFiles and their size. In many of the cases this helps.
