hi,
I am getting an error 43 IOP, on reading an empty VSAM file that was defined and HI-U-RBA was 0. Any suggestion how i can change HI-U-RBA.

Thanks.

I guess the VSAM file is newly created since it's having HIUBRA as 0. You need to load a dummy record and delete it to change the value of HIUBRA.
Open the file in the output mode and write a dummy record and close it. This will set the HIUBRA.
