Writing in ESDS in CICS: EIBRESP 16

Hi

We have defined a new ESDS file in CICS. I am trying to write into the new file and I keep getting EIBRESP 16. The code used is

EXEC CICS WRITE DATASET ('NEWFILE')
FROM(NEWFILE-RECORD)
RIDFLD(DUMMY-KEY)
RBA
END-EXEC.

Dummy key is defined as

77 DUMMY-KEY PIC S9(8) COMP VALUE ZEROS.

Since the Key position and Key length of the ESDS file defined in CICS is 0. Could anyone please let me know whatz wrong in the above code....

INVREQ, what is in EIBRESP2?

INVREQ
RESP2 values: 20
Add operations are not allowed according to the file entry specification in the FCT.
The file is not defined in the FCT to allow adding new records.....
Manuals are so much fun......

Thanks for the quick turn around. I just now checked the file definition and it says the file has no add/delete access.

Do u have any docs that explains about these EIBRESP codes. Or any link from where I can get the information???

Where did you get the information on how to write the write statement?

What CICS manual are you using as a reference on how to code the syntax of the EXEC CICS WRITE?

Well then, you are going to want to keep this url to the CICS Transaction Server for z/OS V3.1 so you always have access to the fine manuals like the CICS Application Programming Reference. In the chapter about WRITE you will find almost all the answers you want.
You can read the books online or download a PDF copy to keep on your PC in case you can't always connect to IBM.
You should to to the server site and get a copy of the Programming Guide too.
