Hello,
It will help if you show the actual jcl and the SELECT/ASSIGN/FD from the code. Use copy/paste and the "Code" tag to preserve alignment and improve readability. |

| Code: |
SELECT SDE-FILE
ASSIGN TO AGPHK002
ACCESS IS DYNAMIC
ORGANIZATION IS INDEXED
RECORD KEY IS SDE-KEY
FILE STATUS IS W015-SDE-FILE-STATUS. |
| Code: |
SELECT SDE-FILE-2
ASSIGN TO AGPHK02A
ACCESS IS DYNAMIC
ORGANIZATION IS INDEXED
RECORD KEY IS SDE-KEY-2
FILE STATUS IS W016-SDE-FILE-STATUS. |

Did you read the complete response from Dick? Your code is edited now.
You've two different DD names -- unless I misunderstood, why do you say this then

| Have you followed the program logic to try to determine the reason for yourself ? |

| There may be a need in the program to read different records from the file without losing the record pointer. There's nothing preventing you from having multiple DD statements pointing to the same file, although VSAM does allow only one to update the file; the rest can read it. |
