Hi Amaresh,

For COBOL error code 96

" No DD statement for the file ".

VS COBOL II runtime issues abend code 1xxx when error is detected.
Link Editor runtime issues abend 4038.

So can you check with the DD statement you have coded for the file.
Verify the DDNAME name is same as it was coded in the program WPD040O1o.

Also check the file opening statement whether it was properly closed before opening it again.

Hi frnd,

The Error 96 is 'No DD Statement specified for the VSAM file'
so chech that option. and U4038 is due to large no.of data. and check that there is may occur some change in the Data set during the execution part. so i think these are the possible suggesstion. and check more for U4038 in the previous post.
