Hi,

I am supposed to repoint a file entry XXXX from datasetA to datasetB in a particular online CICS region.

So I used the following statements inside the JCL.

CLOSE XXXX
CEMT SET FI(XXXX) DSN(datasetB).

Then I faced the below error
<CMTE128> CEMT RETURN CODE ERROR(S) 075 OCCURRED IN DFHEMTA EXECUTION PHASE.

Could some one explain what it is and how to resolve it.

Are you using MacKinney's Batch to CICS product? If so, you need to open a problem request with MacKinney about your problem.

You're closing the file -- how are you disabling it? If the file is not disabled as well as closed, I don't believe you can update the definition to point to a new file.

then what are you using? you only give limited information

btw:
DFHEMTA <== this is an old CEMT interface module that IBM no
longer supports. You need to suggest to your installation to
try a different product that does not use DFHEMTA.

Earl,

You're right that DFHEMTA is older than dirt (introduced with CICS/OS 1.6.1 in the mid 1980's) and requires five 24-Bit addresses as its commarea. But AFAIK, IBM still supports it, although documentation is few and far between. The last documentation I recall was in CICS/MVS 2.1.2. It's cousin, DFHEMTP, introduced with CICS/OS 1.5, is still used as well, but you can't get an RC back from it, but you can with DFHEMTA.

In fact, the current MacKinney product which uses DFHEMTA is going away as MacKinney has a similar product. Their fear is that DFHEMTA will be pulled permanently by IBM in the next version/release (although it was shipped with CICS/TS 4.1), but MacKinney believe's that it's just a matter of time.

The SET FILE API's should be used instead (as IBM recommends) or even a 3rd-Party product, other than MacKinney icon_wink.gif

Regards,

Bill

Bill,

Thanks for the correction, I knew MacKinney was trying to move
away from using DFHEMTA, especially since other 3rd party products
have found ways to not use.

BTW: Couple years back, I wrote an article regarding the history
of open/close files from batch. Might be of interest.

Have a look>> www.cicsworld.com/node/165

Regards,
Earl
