Hi All,

I have created a VSAM file udsing the below mentioned attributes

AAAA.BBBB.file
AAAA.BBBB.file.data
AAAA.BBBB.file.index

//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=H
//SYSIN DD *
DEFINE CLUSTER +
(NAME(AAAA.BBBB.file') +
CYLINDERS(4 1) +
KEYS(40 0) +
IMBED +
RECORDSIZE(264 32000) +
SHAREOPTIONS(4,3) +
SPEED +
SPANNED +
UNIQUE) +
INDEX(NAME(AAAA.BBBB.file.INDEX') -
) +
DATA(NAME(AAAA.BBBB.file.DATA') -
CISZ(2048) +
FREESPACE(50 50) +
)
/*

//STEP2 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//INPUT DD *
/*
//OUTPUT DD DSN=AAAA.BBBB.file,DISP=SHR
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=H
//SYSIN DD *
REPRO INFILE(INPUT) OUTFILE(OUTPUT)
/*
//*

While trying to move the code from one level to another level via SCLM, iam getting the below error as this VSAM file is used for versioning purpose.

FLM04030 - ERROR OPENING PROJECT VSAM DATA SET
GROUP: SYS, DATABASE: VERSION/AUDIT
INTENT: READ, CODE: 12
MACRO: FLMCNTRL
DATA SET: AAAA.BBBB.file

You cannot REPRO an empty file to initialize a VSAM file -- you must actually write a record into it (which can then be deleted). Until you have done this, you cannot read from it.

And, by the way, IMBED has been obsolete for quite some time and may cause your define to not work under z/OS 1.11 (I haven't confirmed that but I do know the 1.11 announcement talked about IMBED).
