Hi.

I need a little help with a VSAM file.
I create a new program and it read a VSAM file. This program run in three jobs on sequence. When the first job finished, the second start and the same is happen with third job.
Sometimes one of jobs stop with when read a VSAM file. It send me a file status 47.
What I can to stop this error?
I thought this error ocurred when two jobs running in the same time and using the same file. But now, I don't what to do.
Every help is welcome.

That's the VSAM's information in my program:

Additionally, I would suggest that add the second variable to your FILE STATUS clause.
Since the problem is due to the open status of the file, I'd suggest that a display of a litteral and the file status be displayes after each open and close, such as DISPLAY 'OPEN-1*' WS-CTRNSA-FS '*'.

First, you didn't post the OPEN statement. If you get a file status 47 on a file, you've got to post the OPEN statement to have a chance of getting any help.

Second, if you're getting Abend Aid on the program, why are you not looking at the Abend Aid output for assistance? AA will tell you the line of code that caused the problem, and often diagnose it for you -- if not, the list of potential causes AA provides is a much better starting place.

Hi delago

Try to use VSAM status code rather than two character File Status.
You can the examples of using VSAM file status in the manual
Enterprise COBOL for z/OS and OS/390 Programming Guide
This enhanced VSAM status code give you detailed information rather than two character FILE STATUS.

Sorry people.
This is the command open when use a VSAM file...

OPEN INPUT ARQFATCE
I-O CTRNSA
OUTPUT ARQFATCS
TOTIMPRE.

Thank's Raghu. I will search this in the manual.

Again...

I agree with CICS Guy -- if the OPEN got a file status 35, 37, 39 (among others) and you're not checking, a READ file status of 47 makes a lot of sense. Display the file status (if not 00 or 97 at least); that will probably clarify things considerably.

I was taught early on to check the file status after every I/O command of any file.

VSAM file status 47 occurs when a file is not opened in input or I-O mode is "READ". In this case since the same file is being used in all the three steps. Ensure that file is opened in required mode in each step. Also handle file-status for all the operations done on the file in all the three steps.
