Hi All

I am having one jcl/proc which is having steps as below


Step 1.Close vsam file F001 in cics
Step 2.Copy vsam file F001 to gdg
step 3.initialize vsam file F001(here i am deleting & defining vsam file F001 ,then copying below data from another vsam F002 to the vsam F001 ) Note that i am doing this because when program try to open the vsam F001 for writing first record it will not cause any error as file is not empty but unfortunately copy from another vsam F002 to the vsam F001 is not working. I am getting VSAM OPEN RETURN CODE IS 168

Data in F002

REQUEST ID REC OTHER DETAILS

-------------- ------ ---------------------------------------------------

step 4. open vsam file F001 in cics

Step 5 Close vsam file F003 in cics
step 6 initialize vsam file F003 (here i am deleting & defining vsam file F003 ,then copying below data from another vsam F004 to the vsam F003 )Note that i am doing this because when program try to open the vsam F003 for writing first record it will not cause any error as file is not empty but unfortunately copy from another vsam F004 to the vsam F003 is not working. I am getting VSAM OPEN
RETURN CODE IS 168

Data in F004
***************************** Top of Data **
00000000 00000000 01000000
-------- -------- ---------
LAST USED LAST RRN MAX RRN

*
**************************** Bottom of Data *
step 7 open vsam file F003 in cics


Now step 3 & 6 are not working as desired and i am getting condition code of 12.Mainly because of copy of vsam files.
SO i need help here how can i copy above given data in vsam F001 & F003 so that when program uses this two files to write some data this files initially are not empty & program will not abend.

Note - This file are RRDS

Please give your suggestion

Regards
Bijal

I sort of guessed that it might be IDCAMS, which function of IDCAMS ?

Also, are the error messages pertaining to the input files or the output files ?

Not sure about this bit, but having closed the files to CICS are they still allocated to CICS.

Is this CLOSE or CLOSE DISABLE?

Could you post the actual IEC or IDC message instead of just your interpretation of the code returned?

From the MAC manual on IDC3351I:
Quote:
168
The data set is not available for the type of processing specified, or an attempt was made to open a reusable data set with the reset option while another user had the data set open.
I'd say either the file is being used by ANOTHER batch process, or the file isn't being released by CICS.

But how it is possible as I am already closing file in CICS.
Is there any way to check file being released by CICS

The IDCAMS step that does the delete / define / repro on your FILE001 -- could you please post the IDCAMS statements?

repeat a thousand times
I should read the manual....

Code:
repro infile() outfile()


Code:
INFILE('DNAME/PASSWORD')
           - SPECIFIES THE NAME OF THE DD STATEMENT THAT IDENTIFIES
             THE DATA SET TO BE COPIED.

OUTFILE('DNAME/PASSWORD')
           - SPECIFIES THE NAME OF THE DD STATEMENT THAT IDENTIFIES
             THE OUTPUT DATA SET.


the correct syntax is
Code:
repro infile(inpur_ddname) outdataset(output_dataset_name)

since there is no file01 dd statement the repro fails

My code is as below

//COPFILE EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//INDD2 DD DSN=F002,DISP=SHR
//OUTDD2 DD DSN=F001,DISP=SHR
//SYSIN DD DSN=MY.CTLCDLIB(TEST1),DISP=SHR

Content of control card TEST1
//DELETE F001 CLUSTER
//DEFINE CLUSTER (NAME(F001) -
// MANAGEMENTCLASS(PERM) STORAGECLASS(STANDARD) -
// CYL(250 25) -
// VOLUMES(*) -
/ RECORDSIZE(266 266) -
// SHAREOPTIONS(1,3) -
// NUMBERED
// SPEED)
// REPRO INFILE(INDD2) -
// OUTFILE(OUTDD2)

What is wrong with this?

For a start it is rather different to the code you posted previously.

What is with the // in cc1-2 ?

My reply was to enrico-sorichetti's reply

I have given actual code of step 3 mentioned in my first post

CC 12 is because Repro is failing.

Thanks

I whish the TS would explain / describe exactly the steps taken

I reread the whole thread, just to be sure, and nothing in the previous posts
contradicts my analisys

I whish that the posters were a bit more clear in their explanations
and expect them to post congruent data not mix up different things

I would expect in the order a clean cut and paste with the code tags of

1) jcl submitted
2) members used as sysin/parms
3) sysout of the whole job
4) as an alternative a snapshot of all the error messages

if I remember correctly
having a dd statement for a vsam file, deleting and defining it,
and using the same dd will give an error
some control blocks are filled by jcl based on the old allocation
and......

Enrico: I don't think the posting problems will go away anytime soon -- everybody seems to want to paste what they think we need to see instead of the actual output ... what a time waster!

The VSAM 168 error could definitely be explained by using a DD name in a step that deletes and defines the file, then attempts to repro it -- the VOLUME parameter is (*) so SMS is picking a volume; unless the same volume happened to be used the REPRO is attempting to use a disk pack that doesn't contain the file anymore.

Bijal: based on your last post, you need to change your REPRO to
Code:
REPRO IFILE(OUTDD1) ODS(F001)
since you don't know where the dataset moved after the delete / define. Or, you can break the repro into a separate IDCAMS step in your JCL.

Enrico & Robert

Finally i used Repro Infile(INDD2) Outdataset(F001) and it worked.

I Appreciate your help

Thank You!
