hi,
I am getting the file status 90 while writing a file.
The output file which is i am writing is a TAPE file.
Could anyone tell me the reason for this?
Thanks |

Why not look at the sticky topic labelled file status codes, which at the time of posting this reply is the one directly above this post  |

Did you check the file status on the OPEN?
What does your ASSIGN statement look like?
What does the JCL statement for the file look like? |

Questions -
01) Was the file opened successfully?
02) Do the DCB characteristics match with the program?
03) There must be messages raised in the JOBLOG (as Peter suggests)
04) Is this the first time you have executed this program?
05) Has the program ever worked before?
Sometimes a "90" can be an elusive and "too generic" a status-code.
Could you add the the secondary status-codes to the program, which consists of a group-level, with three elementary binary-halfwords? This is defined in the COBOL manual and could pinpoint your error.

Check whether the file attributes in JCL and program are in sync. Sometimes, this also gives file status 90.

The attributes are in SYNC.
The file has some processed records also. |

| Since you are using Tape as an output did you mention the Volume correctly. I guess that could be the reason. |

Why would anyone need to mention the volume ? |

Hi Expat,

Because there is no automated tape management system. . . Hard to believe, but they do still exist. . . And those sites experience many really dumb problems. . .

Why do you believe a disp of NEW means there are "some processed records"? |

What exactly is your output file type - first you say that it is NOT a VSAM then you are saying that you needed to convert it to a flat file to view it .... this is confusing

If the original o/p file is a VSAM, then please follow Bill's suggestion - it would definitely help. If it's not a VSAM even then try it out - it might help.
