One of our Jobs abended with U4005.
We have identified from its corresponding COBOL code that this abend
arised while opening a VSAM dataset. The abend message was 'Error opening a vsam dataset of file status 37'.

The description of file-status 37 is
An OPEN statement was attempted on a file that would not support the open mode specified in the OPEN statement.
Possible violations are:

o The EXTEND or OUTPUT phrase was specified but the file would not
support write operations.

o The I-O phrase was specified but the file would not support the input
and output operations permitted.

o The INPUT phrase was specified but the file would not support read
operations.

Actually this abended job runs a cobol code with a input VSAM file. This file is opened in OUTPUT mode inside the cobol program.

Let us know how to fix this issue.

Look into extending the FILE STATUS clause with the second six byte field for more information.

Why would you open an input VSAM in OUTPUT mode?

Hello,

Is this new code or had it been working until some change was made?
