Hi,

What are the file status codes of Assembler?? Can anyone help in this regard?

The only file status codes I'm aware of are specific to COBOL. Perhaps you could explain more about what you're looking for?

I would start with the DCB entry SYNAD=ERRORRTN, which will invoke ERRORRTN.

ERRORRTN would then interrogate the bits in the DCB to determine the error.

need to check the assembler documentation or DCB definitions
(where ever that is)
which will describe the bit settings within the DCB and what they mean for the type of device/file.

anyway, that's how we did it back in the 70's.

Robert (et al),

I believe he's looking for the following VSAM Macro Return and Reason Codes -
