37:
An OPEN statement was attempted on a file that would not support the open mode specified in the OPEN statement.
Possible violations are:
1. The EXTEND or OUTPUT phrase was specified but the file would not support write operations.
2. The I-O phrase was specified but the file would not support the input and output operations permitted.
3. The INPUT phrase was specified but the file would not support read operations. |
Which one is it? |

1. Permanent error condition.
2. The I-O phrase was specified but the file would not support the input and output operations permitted.
3. OPEN MODE INCOMPAT WITH DEVICE |

but the thing is that, that particular file has read/write privilege. and is opened in I/O mode.
Is there any other case of failure. |

what does a listcat on the vsam provide?
I think I remember something about the REUSE parameter. |

hi lekshmi,

the reuse parameter plays a prominent role in adding records to vsam file.
i think you must have specified NOREUSE option for that vsam file at time of cluster creation. Please make sure that it is specified as 'REUSE' or not.
if still the problem is coming then please provide the sysout and vtoc information of that file. |
