Getting responce code as 0000001C while reading a VSAM file.

Hi All,

In my CICS program, I am reading a VSAM file by passing key. But the record is not read and it is setting the record not found flag.This input VSAM file has the record for that key.
I am getting the respose code as 0000001C.

why I am getting 0000001C response code and how to resolve?

Please send me your responses if you have any idea on this ASAP.

Thanks
Ram

What have you tried yourself to resolve this? Will it help your resolution to convert the "1C" to decimal? Are you only reading the dataset?

A "1C" return code for vsam is normally caused by dataset cannot be extended. But here the TS is reading. Maybe the return code is not from vsam but from CICS?
Without any much more info it will be only guessing and that is not solved ASAP.

Yes I am only reading the dataset and retrieving certain fields for creating output.

Rambhupalchowdary: at this point, you have done absolutely nothing to clarify what your problem is. If you are telling us that you are getting EIBRESP of X'0000001C' (or decimal 28), then the first issue is that you will NOT get a TRANSIDERR on a READ statement in CICS. Hence, either you are getting the X'0000001C' on something other than the READ, or you are not getting an X'0000001C' EIBRESP code at all, or you are getting some other code from the READ that you are not saving before you attempt an EXEC CICS RETURN that DOES get the 28 response code, or you have absolutely no clue about what you are doing -- in which case you need to figure that out before attempting to post anything else here.

If you are getting a VSAM response code from the COBOL extended file status code, then again the code makes no sense in the context of what you supposedly are doing. As I first said, you need to clarify what you are doing and what, exactly, code you are getting and from where.

Good day to all!

You should do a CEDF at the terminal and trace your transaction to the point before the READ is executed. Modify the key using the key of the record that you are having problems with then execute the read and should see if the read was successful or a response condition from the read. If the transaction doesn't have a terminal ID then do a CEDX on the transaction.

Please post the associated EIBFN and EIBRCODE values.

Besides an EIBRESP of 28 (X'1C'), please post the EIBRESP2 value.
