I have a CICS cobol program that uses a VSAM KSDS with read + update. I execute this program/TRAN which fails with EIBRESP=16 , EIBRESP2 = 20. This means that an update attempt is being done for the file, defined as read only.
However, I have defined the file using RDO CEDA for update.
| Code: |
OBJECT CHARACTERISTICS
CEDA View File( FILEPER )
File : FILEPER
Group : AFIAG01
DEScription : PERSONNEL DB
VSAM PARAMETERS
DSNAme : AFIA.PER.KSDS.CLUSTER
. . .
. . .
RECORDFormat : F
OPERATIONS
Add : Yes
BRowse : Yes
DELete : Yes
READ : Yes
UPDATE : Yes
|
I also did a CEMT INQ on this file, which shows that the file is for read only.
| Code: |
INQ FI(FILEPER)
STATUS: RESULTS - OVERTYPE TO MODIFY
Fil(FILEPER ) Vsa Ope Ena Rea Sha
Dsn( AFIA.PER.KSDS.CLUSTER )
|
Could some one please help by explaining why the CEMT & CEDA results are different and... how do we fix this?
Thanks |

I see the file defined in FCT cannot update
| Code: |
INQ FI(FILEPER)
STATUS: RESULTS - OVERTYPE TO MODIFY
Fil(FILEPER ) Vsa Ope Ena Rea Sha
Dsn( AFIA.PER.KSDS.CLUSTER ) |
Should be something like
| Code: |
INQ FI(FILEPER)
STATUS: RESULTS - OVERTYPE TO MODIFY
Fil(FILEPER ) Vsa Ope Ena Rea Upd Sha
Dsn( AFIA.PER.KSDS.CLUSTER ) |
What you can do is do a CEDA ALTER and select the Update as YES and reinstall |

thanks for the reply.
yes, the problem is that the FCT is not getting updated. A CEDA VIEW FILE(FILEPER) GROUP.. shows that the file is set up for update (as can be seen from the code I have already pasted earlier). However, trying to install this file gives me the message below:
| Code: |
S Install failed because an existing definition for file FILEPER could
not be deleted. SYSID=CICS APPLID=CICS
INSTALL UNSUCCESSFUL TIME: 00.59.13 DATE: 12.247
|
pls suggest. |

If you did an alter of the file INSTALL is necessary
Also you should be able to change it in CEMT I FILE() option itself then INSTALL is not needed |

OK, I have deleted the file from my group and recreated the resource definition. I, however, still see that the CEMT INQ on this file shows as
| Code: |
I FI(FILEPER)
STATUS: RESULTS - OVERTYPE TO MODIFY
Fil(FILEPER ) Vsa Ope Ena Rea Sha
Dsn( AFIA.PER.KSDS.CLUSTER )
|
Iam not sure why the FCT is not getting updated...given that an INSTALL is not required. pls suggest. |

I had to close the file first by CEMT SET FILE(filename) CLOSED
for the file INSTALL to work. I now see that the FCT has been updated as desired.
| Code: |
INQ FI(FILEPER)
STATUS: RESULTS - OVERTYPE TO MODIFY
Fil(FILEPER ) Vsa Clo Ena Rea Upd Add Bro Del Old
|
Pandora-box, you were also correct when you stated that the CEMT INQ FI(filename) could also be used to update the FCT without a CEDA INSTALL.
Thanks for the help! |

running the program/TRAN now gives EIBRESP=19 (file not open), EIBRESP2=60 (MAXFLENGTH value negative, or greater than MAXFLENGTH value for pool). The file status before run is:
| Code: |
I FI(FILEPER)
STATUS: RESULTS - OVERTYPE TO MODIFY
Fil(FILEPER ) Vsa Clo Ena Rea Upd Add Bro Del Old
|
This VSAM, as seen above, is closed + enabled and has been defined with 'opentime'=Firstref. It does not have to be opened (explicitly) before the TRAN invocation either, as the CICS version at my shop is 2.3. This is because CICS verions 1.7 or later would automatically open a closed file on encountering the first file operation in the program.
I need help to understand why the file is not getting opened up. |

| I had a look at the variable list when carrying out the CEMT SET FI(filename) and observed that the DSNAME field 'value' was in error. Correcting this value resolved the EIBRESP=19. |

Did you try to open the file using CEMT? What happened?

If the CICS definition does not match in some way the physical file definition, the file won't open in CICS. |

CEMT..OPEN would be a good starting point for debug, as you suggest. This was failing for me but it was just a coincidence that I opened the variable list (PF5) when attempting a CEMT SET FI(..) and found that the CICS definition was incorrect for DSNAME.
Thanks (for the support) |
