how come DD name more then 8 bytes UT-S-DD010 . It can be max of 8 in length(in JCL and pgm).

Thanks,
Pravesh

Expat is corect - UT-S -> is "an old way of coding in cobol", wehre in you tell the system what kind of device the program is going to deal with. So yes, as far as, DD-name in COBOL progrm is concerned - that's correct.

I just hope the file exist - status-code 35 asks for this. Also, your choice of DD-name is not that user-friendly -- are you sure, you've not used alphabet-O instead of number-0 in DD statement or vice-versa?

you receive a 35 on open when

you coded your program and jcl accurately and the physical file does not exist
you have not coded your program and jcl accurately and the file exists

dd name is not same in jcl and pgm
dsn is inaccurate
file does not exist

Hello,

Remove the FILE STATUS and note which error/abend happens. . .
