Vsam-alternate index creation error code 35

hello everyone,

i have a vsam ksds file (hlq.test.vsam) defined with an alternate index (hlq.test.vsam.aix).

In the file control of my cobol program, i write this as

select file assign to ddname
organisation is indexed
access mode is dynamic
record key is crsid
alternate record key is cname with duplicates
file status key is fs1.

and in my runjcl(jcl to run the load mod)

//ddname dd dsn=hlq.test.vsam.aix.path

it gives me a vsam error code 35. ( i did try assigning the ddname to the base cluster also, the result is the same)

i dont understand...can someone explain me this..its urgent

Hi,

I guess in the JCL , you will be having 2 ddnames.

//DDNAME DD DSN=<BASE CLUSTER>,DISP=SHR
//DDNAME1 DD DSN=<PATH NAME>,DISP=SHR

Correct me If I am Wrong..

Thanks,
Vinay

ddname ---> base cluster

ddname1 ----> aix path

the code works fine if i dont mention

alternate record key is cname

in my cobol.

if i use it, it gives me a return code 35
